The Seattle Seahawks crush the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 in Week 9, showcasing a lockdown defense and mistake‑free offense. Despite a few controversial calls, Seattle’s unit—still dominant without Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu—stops the Cardinals’ red‑zone streak and limits them to a single field goal. Drew Lock runs the offense flawlessly, while running backs Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker provide balanced ground support. The win improves Seattle’s record to 5‑4 and keeps them out of NFC West cellar, while Arizona’s lone score comes from a disputed early catch.
The Arizona Cardinals fall 17-3 to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, extending their 11-game losing streak to Seattle. Arizona’s offense is a “no-show,” managing just 198 total yards, eight scoreless drives and 4/13 on third down, while quarterback Gardner Minshew struggles in his first start. Seattle, led by Drew Lock’s two TD passes and a dominant ground game (33 carries for 120 yards), controls the clock and adds three sacks. The loss drops the Cardinals to 3‑6 as they face the Rams next week and approach the trade deadline.
The Seahawks beat the Cardinals but remain outside the final NFC Wild Card slot, sitting eighth at 5‑4 after a 45‑27 loss by the Packers to the Patriots that keeps Seattle out. The 49ers retake the No. 1 seed (7‑1) and the NFC North is 3‑0, with the Bears beating Tampa Bay. With the NFC West title slipping away, Seattle must overtake a hot NFC North team or the surging Rams to stay alive, and a 10‑win season may still miss the playoffs.
Arizona Cardinals rookie starter Gardner Minshew suffers his first 2026 loss, falling 17‑3 to the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 9. Head coach Mike LaFleur bluntly critiques the offense, saying the team "can operate better" after a lackluster performance in a tough Seattle environment. Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards but threw no touchdowns and was sacked three times. Veteran Michael Wilson led the team with six catches for 60 yards, while Trey McBride and Tyler Allgeier combined for modest yardage. The defeat drops the Cardinals to 3‑6.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (18) suffers a hamstring pull during Friday practice, sidelining him for “a couple of weeks” and forcing him to miss the upcoming game against the Cardinals and likely the Week 11 bye. The injury comes as his wife, Sophia Meyer, resurfaces online with a TikTok foot‑massage video that has already amassed over 12 million views and sparked a viral frenzy. Coach Sean McVay expressed disappointment, noting Ferguson was key to the game plan after returning from a Week 3 hamstring issue.
After the Rams’ 20-13 win over Washington, head coach Sean McVay says tight end Terrance Ferguson suffered a pulled hamstring during practice and could miss another two weeks. The 23‑year‑old, who was just cleared from a five‑game ankle injury, now faces a likely grade‑one strain and must be activated by Nov. 25 or stay on IR for the season. He’ll miss the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals, though a Week 11 bye follows before a Thanksgiving‑Eve clash with Green Bay. Ferguson has logged seven catches, 63 yards and a TD in three games, becoming a key target as wideout Davante Adams also sits out.
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 17-3, extending their 11-game winning streak over Arizona. A shorthanded defense shines, holding the Cards to under 200 yards and allowing only 4 yards per play, with standout performances from Dante Fowler (first sack), Byron Murphy II, DeMarcus Lawrence, Derick Hall (three TFLs) and Devon Witherspoon. Backup QB Drew Lock impresses, completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a TD without a sack. A.J. Barner records his first season TD, while Zach Charbonnet rushes for 77 yards on 16 carries. Offensively, the line stays solid and Jadarian Price leads receivers with 54 yards. The article criticizes officiating, calling Clete Blakeman’s crew a “joke.”
Yankees captain Aaron Judge repeatedly confronted Jazz Chisholm Jr. over clubhouse conduct that many deem over the line, sparking a debate on leadership style. Incidents ranging from a June game where Chisholm fielded with a lollipop to an October throwing error that cost Tampa Bay, plus an ejection against Boston, led Judge to privately admonish him throughout the 2026 season. Despite ending with 19 homers, 55 RBIs, 41 steals and a .231 average, the Yankees declined a qualifying offer, leaving Chisholm a free agent. Analysts argue whether Judge’s quiet discipline or public reprimand would have changed the outcome, while potential suitors like Arizona loom.

Myles Garrett returns in Week 9 and fuels the Rams' 5‑4 bounce‑back win over the Washington Commanders with three sacks, despite feeling "rusty" early and picking up penalties. His dominant performance helps Los Angeles stay tied for second in the NFC West with Seattle and remain in the NFC playoff hunt behind Green Bay. Garrett praised his teammates' support, and the Rams hope his impact continues as they face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.
Seahawks fans gear up for NFL Week 9’s early slate, highlighted by the Washington Commanders vs. Los Angeles Rams at 10 am PT. A win for Washington could dash the Rams’ playoff hopes, while a Rams victory threatens Seattle’s spot at the bottom of the NFC West if the Cardinals beat them later.

Missing half a dozen starters before kickoff due to injuries, the Seahawks leaned on the rest of their supporting cast around a banged up Drew Lock to continue their mastery of the Cardinals.
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 17‑3 despite not recording a single 20‑yard offensive play—the first time that’s happened since 2000, marking a 26‑year oddity. Injuries sidelined Sam Darnold, Quenton Nelson, Charles Cross and Rashid Shaheed, so Seattle relied on short gains, with Jaxon Smith‑Njigba’s 18‑yard run as the longest. A would‑be 25‑yard catch by Zach Charbonnet was nullified by a personal‑foul call, keeping the team on third down. The offense avoided turnovers and converted 7 of 14 third‑down attempts, earning the win without big plays.
Sunday's lifeless performance in Seattle should signal the end of the Gardner Minshew experiment and beginning of the Carson Beck era, Dan Bickley writes.
The Seattle Seahawks sit 5-4 after a 17-3 Week 9 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but quarterback uncertainty looms for Week 10. Backup QB Drew Lock (29) suffered an oblique injury against the Cardinals, and head coach Mike Macdonald says his availability is “up in the air.” Starter Sam Darnold also battles a quadriceps strain and a cracked rib, leaving both QBs doubtful for the upcoming clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. If neither can play, Seattle may have to rely on third‑round rookie Jalen Milroe, who has seen no action this season.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left the 20-13 win over Washington with a knee injury on the final offensive snap. He sustained a hard hit during a jet sweep and was also briefly examined under concussion protocol before returning. The Rams say an ACL tear is unlikely, but imaging is scheduled for Monday. Nacua posted a career‑best 14 catches for 150 yards and the team’s sole passing TD. With Davante Adams already out with an ACL tear, his absence could thin the Rams’ receiver corps. The club hopes he’s back by the next game against the Cardinals on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Rams lost starting left guard Steve Avila to a re‑aggravated hamstring during the second quarter of their game against the Washington Commanders on Nov. 8, 2026. After a promising return from limited practice earlier in the week, Avila exited while blocking a Kyren Williams rush and was ruled out for the rest of the contest, with backup Beaux Limmer stepping in. The injury raises concerns ahead of the Rams' Week 10 matchup and their upcoming clash with the Arizona Cardinals before the bye, potentially sidelining Avila for at least the next game.

The Seattle Seahawks cruised past the Arizona Cardinals 17–3 in Week 9 on November 8, 2026. Seahawks outgained the Cardinals, 301 total yards to 200.
Seattle quarterback Drew Lock finishes the Seahawks’ 17‑3 win over the Arizona Cardinals despite a suspected hip injury. Lock, who started in place of the injured Sam Darnold and was already dealing with an elbow issue, limped to the medical tent after an incomplete pass to Jaxon Smith‑Njigba in the third quarter. He later returned to the game, while backup Jalen Milroe warmed up but did not see action. The nature of Lock’s hip problem will be closely monitored ahead of Seattle’s upcoming clash with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Seattle Seahawks (5-4) scrape a 17‑3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals (3-6) on Nov. 8, 2026, completing an 11th straight win in the NFC West rivalry. A.J. Barner scores twice – a rush early in the second quarter and his first receiving TD of the season – while Drew Lock throws efficiently (19‑28, 175 yards, 1 TD) despite elbow and hip injuries. Zach Charbonnet leads the ground game with 77 yards, and Jaxon Smith‑Njigba catches all seven targets for 51 yards. Arizona is limited to a single field goal; Gardner Minshew is sacked three times and Tyler Allgeier manages only 46 yards. The game is marred by 18 penalties for 180 yards, but the Seahawks finally sweep the Cardinals again.
Here is how Gardner Minshew performed in his first start with the Cardinals after taking over for Jacoby Brissett.
The Arizona Cardinals’ offense sputters again in a 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, dropping to 3-6. Gardner Minshew finishes 21‑of‑30 for 166 yards but the ground game collapses—Arizona records just 18 carries for 50 yards, with Tyler Allgeier managing only 17 of them for 46 yards. Despite a relatively healthy offensive line and a Seahawks defense missing Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu, the Cardinals can’t generate points, leaving fans eager for the anticipated Carson Beck era. Coach Mike LaFleur and the offense bear the blame as the team fights to stay competitive.
