The Story
The Seattle Seahawks held the Arizona Cardinals to under 200 yards of total offence, according to a season review that also credits the defence with limiting the Cardinals’ production to 3.9 yards per play and 4.5 yards per pass.
The same assessment describes the performance as a notable improvement compared with the Cardinals’ earlier showing in Week 2.
Across the two Seahawks–Cardinals games referenced in the report, Arizona ran a total of 98 offensive plays, while its season totals were listed as 10 points, 349 yards (229 passing and 120 rushing), 23 first downs, and a 7/25 conversion rate on third down.
The review also pointed to availability and lineup changes, noting the Seahawks did not have Ty Okada and (primarily) Nick Emmanwori in the first game, and also stating that Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu were not available in the second bout.
The report highlighted the Cardinals’ offensive changes as well, saying pieces were swapped out at nearly every position across the two games and that neither iteration produced the kind of output the team typically relies on. It also referenced Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas and safety Nick Emmanwori in key defensive moments against Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.
It further noted that Arizona head coach Mike LaFleur was involved on the sideline for a matchup at Lumen Field, while discussing how the coaching matchup between LaFleur and Seattle’s Mike Macdonald played out across the two games.
