First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Seahawks' defense set the tone early, with Leonard Williams making his presence felt by contributing to one of the team's six sacks. This defensive pressure limited the Cardinals' offensive opportunities and kept them from gaining an early advantage.

In the second quarter, Seattle's offense began to find its rhythm. Sam Howell led a crucial drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to AJ Barner, highlighting Howell's impressive passing accuracy with an overall completion rate of 69 percent for the game. Meanwhile, Zach Charbonnet added another dimension to Seattle's attack with his rushing touchdown from just one yard out.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, both teams continued their battle on both sides of the ball. The Hawks' defense remained relentless; Uchenna Nwosu was particularly effective in disrupting Arizona’s quarterback by recording two sacks and two tackles for loss during this period.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter was marked by intense back-and-forth action as Arizona attempted a comeback. However, Coby Bryant's interception thwarted one such attempt and shifted momentum back in favor of Seattle. Jason Myers also played a pivotal role by successfully converting three field goals throughout the match—his longest being from 52 yards—securing vital points for his team.
