The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 17-3, completing a season sweep despite playing without starting quarterback Sam Darnold and several other key players. Filling in for Darnold, Drew Lock threw for 175 yards and a touchdown, while tight end A.J. Barner scored twice: once on a 1-yard run and once on a 7-yard catch. Seattle’s defense held Arizona to 198 total yards and kept the Cardinals scoreless after their opening-drive field goal; Gardner Minshew finished with 166 passing yards. Jaxon Smith-Njigba added seven catches for 51 yards and surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the season, marking his third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Lock handled the quarterback spot fine and Smith-Njigba reaching 1000 yards is a solid milestone.
Defense limiting Arizona to 198 yards made the difference even with key players out.
Barner stepping up with a run and a catch for touchdowns shows real value from the tight end spot.
