The Cardinals couldn’t stop the Seahawks from getting crucial field goals in the second half; the game consequently slipped out of their hands. For the Seahawks, this puts them on top of the NFC West rankings, building off their strong 7-3 start to the season.
Russell Wilson put on another fantastic display again. He completed 23 out of his 28 passes, with 2 important touchdowns. But it was an impressive defensive performance from the Seahawks line that won them the game.
Carlos Dunlap ended the game with an impressive last-second sack on Kyler Murray to seal the victory for the Seahawks.

“I was just visualizing being on this side with the 12, versus against the 12 in my previous occurrences. I’m always one to get the crowd involved.”

“Us as a D learned. J Reed was hitting them. Benson was back out there with us. Happy Birthday Poona. LJ, Rasheem, Snacks out there making stops.”
For Carlos Dunlap, it was important that the defense provide opportunities, especially in shutting down the threat of DeAndre Hopkins.
“As a defensive line, we think the sky is the limit. We continue to get guys back healthy and get in a rhythm. When the offense gives us opportunities and the coverage is that good, they shut down Hop (Hopkins) all game.
