AJ Barner scored a rushing touchdown and caught another as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 17–3 at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, on Sunday, November 8.

The Seahawks improved to 5–4 and completed a season sweep of their NFC West opponent. Arizona fell to 3–6, a week after winning in Dallas.

Seattle’s defense controlled the game, limiting the Cardinals to 198 total yards and recording three sacks. Arizona scored only on its opening possession, when a drive beginning at its own 1-yard line reached the Seattle 10 before ending in a field goal.

Barner gave Seattle the lead with a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He then caught a 7-yard scoring pass from Drew Lock shortly before halftime, putting the Seahawks ahead 14–3.

Lock completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards. Zach Charbonnet added 77 rushing yards, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba had seven receptions for 51 yards.

Gardner Minshew, making his first start for Arizona, completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards. Tight end Trey McBride caught seven passes for 54 yards, extending his streak of games with at least seven receptions to 11.

The Cardinals had a late opportunity to make the game closer. A fourth-quarter drive produced first-and-goal at the Seattle 4 with about six minutes remaining, but Arizona failed to score. A fourth-down pass intended for McBride fell incomplete in the end zone.

Seattle ran out the remaining time. The Seahawks had also won the teams’ earlier meeting, 31–7 in Arizona in Week 2.
