Seattle Defense Keeps Arizona in Check, Seahawks Win 19-9: Live Game Log
In this story:
The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals meet at Lumen Field on Sunday for an NFC West battle. Both teams are looking to pick up wins after late losses in Week 5.
The Seahawks fell 39-32 to the New Orleans Saints after giving up a 60-yard touchdown run to Saints quarterback Taysom Hill with a little over five minutes left.
Arizona lost 20-17 in heart-breaking fashion to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kicker Matt Ammendola missed a potential game-tying field goal at the horn as the Cardinals fell to 2-3.
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury had some thoughtful compliments for Seattle quarterback Geno Smith earlier this week ahead of the divisional matchup.
“His arm talent is tremendous as good as anybody in the league,” Kingsbury said. “You turn the tape on, I don’t care who you are, if you watch it and you didn’t know names, you’d think he’s a top-five guy. He’s playing that well.
“He went into a tough situation ... It can go south in a hurry, but to show that type of mental toughness, the resiliency he’s shown, and the way he’s playing you can see he has something to prove.”
Smith will look to continue his productive play at home on Sunday.
