The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 after giving up an early field goal, securing a dominant divisional win highlighted by standout performances from Dante Fowler Jr., AJ Barner, and Zach Charbonnet, sports.mynorthwest.com reported.
With just over nine minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Cardinals managed their only scoring drive of the afternoon. From that point onward, the Seattle defense locked down the field entirely.

Zach Charbonnet Evokes Marshawn Lynch Memories
Running back Zach Charbonnet turned in a performance that drew immediate comparisons to franchise legend Marshawn Lynch. He sealed the victory in the fourth quarter with a punishing 17-yard run out of his own territory.
Charbonnet bounced off a tackle from a 340-pound defender and hurdled a defensive back to pick up the first down. Wyman noted that the running back looks sharper and more explosive than at any point before his previous injury.
