The Seattle Seahawks had an explosive first quarter fueled by the defense’s forced turnovers. The Cardinals scored the first touchdown with an early drive touchdown, but that ended their highlights of the first frame.

On Arizona’s second possession, quarterback Kyler Murray threw a dart directly at Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV. It was the first interception Jones caught as a Hawk.

One play later, Geno Smith found Jaxon Smith-Njigba to give Seattle the lead.

But the fireworks didn’t end there for Seattle’s defense. On the Cards’ ensuing drive, pressured by linebacker Derick Hall, Murray tried to escape the pressure. Unfortunately for him, his rushed pass landed in the waiting arms of safety Coby Bryant.

Two weeks ago, Bryant was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his interception and subsequent touchdown return. This time it didn’t make it back into the house, but the Seahawks took advantage by finding the end zone behind the legs of Zach Charbonnet five plays later.
