The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 on September 20 at State Farm Stadium. The Seahawks' defense, known for leading the NFL in fewest points allowed last season, stifled Arizona's offense after an early touchdown. Seattle scored 24 unanswered points in the second half, as Drew Lock threw three touchdown passes, two to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Nick Emmanwori made his season debut following ankle surgery and contributed to a defensive effort that limited Arizona to just four first downs after the first quarter.
