Arizona Cardinals Stalled In 17-3 Loss To Seattle

SEATTLE — The Arizona Cardinals were held without a touchdown in a 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Lumen Field.

The Cardinals (3-6) managed 198 total yards against the Seahawks (5-4), including just 109 after their opening possession. Arizona was swept in the season series after a 31-7 loss to Seattle in September.

Gardner Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards without a turnover in his first start for the Cardinals. Receiver Michael Wilson finished with six catches for 60 yards.

Arizona’s opening possession began at its own 1-yard line and reached Seattle’s 10 before stalling. Chad Ryland’s field goal provided the Cardinals’ only points.

Seattle took control in the second quarter behind tight end AJ Barner, who scored on a 1-yard run. Barner later caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Drew Lock with 15 seconds remaining before halftime, extending Seattle’s lead to 14-3.

The Cardinals threatened in the fourth quarter, reaching first-and-goal at Seattle’s 4 with about six minutes remaining.

However, Arizona was stopped when safety Nick Emmanwori broke up a fourth-down pass intended for tight end Trey McBride. Seattle then ran out the clock, preventing another Arizona possession.

Cardinals safeties Budda Baker and Andrew Wingard were each credited with double-digit tackles. Defensive lineman Roy Lopez left with a first-quarter toe injury and did not return.

Arizona will host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Nov. 15, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:05 p.m. MST.
