Jarran Reed shines in Seahawks' win over Cardinals
Summary

Jarran Reed delivered a standout performance for the Seattle Seahawks in their 31-7 victory against the Arizona Cardinals on September 21, 2026. Reed recorded his first sack of the season and was credited with four pressures on just 12 pass-rushing attempts. His impact was highlighted by Seahawks defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who called Reed the 'heartbeat' of the team’s defense. Reed, whose playing time had diminished earlier in the offseason, has emerged as a crucial part of the Seahawks' defensive line rotation, contributing significantly even while participating in fewer snaps. Seattle applied intense pressure on Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett throughout the game, limiting Arizona to only 151 total yards and 10 first downs.
