SEATTLE (Interstat) — Drew Lock threw for 175 yards and a touchdown and added a short rushing score as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the visiting Arizona Cardinals 17-3 on Sunday at Lumen Field. Seattle improved to 5-4, while Arizona dropped to 3-6 in a National Football League game played before an announced attendance of 68,636. The Seahawks controlled field position, protected the ball and kept the Cardinals out of the end zone.

Arizona opened the scoring in the first quarter when Chad Ryland made a 28-yard field goal. The Cardinals moved the ball at times but could not finish drives, and Seattle’s defense tightened near the red zone. Seattle answered with a pair of touchdowns before halftime. The first came on a direct snap to tight end AJ Barner, who went up the middle for 1 yard. Jason Myers added the extra point. Near the end of the second quarter, Lock found Barner for a 7-yard touchdown pass in the middle of the field. The replay official reviewed the completion ruling and upheld the play, and Myers’ extra point made it a two-score game. Myers later added a 45-yard field goal.

Lock finished 19 of 28 for 175 yards and a touchdown and ran five times for 16 yards and another score. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., native, listed at 6-foot-4 and 228 pounds, was the top star for the Seahawks. Arizona quarterback Gardner Minshew II completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards and ran once for 4 yards. Seattle safety Ty Okada recorded four tackles. Arizona punter Blake Gillikin punted six times for 269 yards. Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet ran 16 times for 77 yards and caught one pass for 9 yards. Jadarian Price added nine carries for 24 yards, four receptions for 54 yards and two kickoff returns for 56 yards. Barner contributed two receptions for 7 yards and two touchdowns, along with three rushes for 3 yards. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught seven passes for 51 yards, Cooper Kupp had three receptions for 32 yards, and Tory Horton made two catches for 22 yards and returned two punts for 2 yards.

Seattle safety Julian Love led the Seahawks with eight tackles, while cornerback Devon Witherspoon and linebacker Ernest Jones IV each had seven. Derick Hall added four tackles, Byron Murphy II had four tackles and a sack, and DeMarcus Lawrence posted three tackles and a sack. Dante Fowler Jr. recorded two tackles and a sack, while Chazz Surratt, Josh Jobe, Rylie Mills, Nick Emmanwori and Jarran Reed each finished with two tackles. George Holani, Nehemiah Pritchett and Connor O’Toole each had one tackle. For Arizona, safety Andrew Wingard made 12 tackles and safety Budda Baker had 11. Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. and defensive lineman Walter Nolen III each recorded six tackles. Cornerback Max Melton had five tackles, linebacker Jack Gibbens had four, and cornerback Kalen King and linebacker Baron Browning each had three. Darius Robinson had one tackle.

Arizona running back Tyler Allgeier ran 17 times for 46 yards and caught two passes for no yards. Michael Wilson caught six passes for 60 yards, Trey McBride had seven receptions for 54 yards, Reggie Virgil made one catch for 25 yards, Elijah Higgins had two receptions for 11 yards, and Teagan Quitoriano added one catch for 8 yards. Devin Duvernay caught two passes for 8 yards, returned three kickoffs for 64 yards and returned two punts for 21 yards. Seattle tight end Eric Saubert did not record a statistic, and Seattle kicker Jason Myers made his only field goal attempt. Michael Dickson punted five times for 228 yards for the Seahawks. Arizona’s defense received 12 tackles from Wingard and 11 from Baker, while Seattle’s pass rush produced sacks from Murphy, Lawrence and Fowler.

The Seahawks had lost to Chicago in their previous game, while Arizona had won at Dallas in overtime in its most recent contest. Seattle had also beaten Arizona earlier this season, and the Seahawks carried that recent success into another strong defensive performance. Arizona’s offense moved between the 20-yard lines but was limited to Ryland’s early field goal. Seattle’s offense did not need a high-volume passing day because Charbonnet and Price helped sustain drives on the ground and Lock avoided turnovers. The Seahawks’ defense handled the rest, holding the Cardinals without a touchdown and making key stops when Arizona threatened. Seattle’s special teams also contributed, with Myers converting his field goal and Dickson helping flip field position.

Arizona next hosts the Los Angeles Rams, while Seattle next visits Las Vegas. The Cardinals will look to correct red-zone issues and revive a running game that finished with 46 yards from Allgeier. The Seahawks will try to build on a home win that moved their season record to 5-4. Seattle’s defensive front consistently pressured Minshew, and the secondary limited big plays. Arizona’s best offensive moments came through Wilson and McBride, but the Cardinals could not convert those gains into points. The result continued a difficult stretch for Arizona and gave Seattle a needed victory at home.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Seattle 55, Arizona 19. Interstat’s ELO system had projected Seattle with a 95.7 percent probability to win. Seattle had been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -9. The total score of 20 went over the over/under line of 39.5.
