Show of hands, who saw this one coming? The Seattle Seahawks have improved to 3-3 after outlasting the Arizona Cardinals in a 19-9 defensive struggle in Week 6.
Given how porous Seattle’s defense has been, and how dominant the Cardinals typically are at Lumen Field, it was easy to predict the game being another shootout for the Seahawks. It couldn’t have been further from reality. The Seahawks defense completely shut down the Cardinals, holding Kyler Murray and Co. to a lone field goal. Seattle sacked the elusive Heisman winner six times and forced two turnovers out of him.
The Seahawks offense wasn’t as high-octane but did more than enough to earn a much-needed win. Rookie running back Kenneth Walker (more on him shortly) paved the way and was a major reason Seattle is back in a tie for first place in the NFC West.
