Seahawks End Winless Run with Comfortable Victory Over Cardinals
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 in a regular-season NFL match on Sunday evening. The visitors ran the show from start to finish, while the hosts were out-thought on the touchline and couldn't find any rhythm. The result marked a clear shift for a Cardinals side that has struggled to string results together.
Arizona came into the fixture having lost three of their last four games before that narrow win over the Chargers. They looked out of sorts throughout, unable to mount any meaningful pressure against a disciplined Seahawks defence. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Seattle, but not in the way anyone would have expected.
The Seahawks had been searching for a win, ending their previous fixture against the Titans in defeat. This performance gave them something to build on, and they held every card throughout the ninety minutes. The visitors found a way back into it after a tentative start and then pulled away.
For Arizona, the defeat extends a difficult run that has seen them drop points in three of their last four outings. They'll need to regroup quickly if they want to turn things around. The table goes out of the window in these games, but the gap between the sides was evident on the pitch.
The Seahawks now have momentum to carry into their next fixture, while the Cardinals face a period of reflection. Both teams will know where they stand after a game that told its own story without needing elaboration.
