SEPTEMBER 20, 2026
Tied at the half. Not after that.
TL;DR
Seattle led by exactly nothing at halftime Sunday. Then it outscored Arizona 24-0 the rest of the way for a 31-7 final that looked nothing like the game that got there.
What happened
Drew Lock opened with an 82-yard strike to Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Seattle's first snap, and it looked like a laugher in the making. It wasn't — Arizona answered before the half, and the Seahawks went to the locker room in a 7-7 tie. Seattle scored on every drive that mattered after that. Arizona didn't score again.

Unanswered second-half points Seattle scored to turn a 7-7 game into a 31-7 final.
Why it's interesting
A 31-7 final reads like Seattle never trailed. It's more accurate to say Seattle didn't lead by more than a single score until midway through the third quarter. The same Cardinals defense that gave up 82 yards on the opening snap held Seattle to seven points across the entire first half.
Then the half ended and Arizona's offense disappeared too. Seattle out-possessed the Cardinals by more than 13 minutes on the day — usually the mark of a game the backups finish. Here, the backups were the ones scoring.
