The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 at Lumen Field on Sunday, as tight end AJ Barner scored both Seattle touchdowns and the defense held Arizona scoreless after its opening drive.

Arizona struck first. The Cardinals kicked a field goal on their opening possession to lead 3-0 at 9:18 of the first quarter. They never scored again. Seattle answered in the second quarter when Barner took a snap and pushed across from 1 yard out to put the Seahawks ahead 7-3. With 15 seconds left in the first half, Drew Lock found Barner for a 7-yard touchdown pass and a 14-3 lead. The play was reviewed and upheld.

Jason Myers added a 45-yard field goal on Seattle's first possession of the second half, at 12:53 of the third quarter. That was the last scoring of the day. Arizona moved the ball at times but never reached the end zone, and Seattle closed the game with Barner running for a first down before the two minute warning and three kneeldowns from Lock.

The quarter by quarter line tells the story of a game that froze early. Arizona scored three points in the first quarter and none after that. Seattle scored 14 in the second quarter and three in the third, and the fourth quarter passed without a point for either team. Arizona has now been outscored 17-0 since it led 3-0 in the opening minutes, a stretch that covered the last three quarters and the end of the first.

Backup quarterbacks on both sides

Lock started for Seattle with Sam Darnold out. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 110 yards and one touchdown in the first half and played within a short passing game all afternoon. Lock went to the medical tent after the field goal drive in the third quarter, favoring his hip while already dealing with elbow tendinitis, but the Cardinals could not use the break. Gardner Minshew made his first start of the season for Arizona and directed only the opening field goal drive.

Seattle came into the game 4-4 and having beaten Arizona in 10 straight meetings. The win moves the Seahawks to 5-4 and keeps that run going. Arizona falls to 3-6 after entering the game 3-5, with no touchdown against a division rival it needed to beat.

What it means

Seattle won a low scoring division game with its backup quarterback, two short touchdowns from its tight end and a defense that gave up three points in 60 minutes. Arizona's season keeps sliding: one field goal, no touchdowns and a sixth loss.
