Recap: Charbonnet helps first-place Seahawks beat Cardinals 30-18
The Seattle Seahawks secured a significant 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, driven by Zach Charbonnet's standout performance of 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns. This win marked the Seahawks' fourth consecutive victory, placing them firmly at the top of the NFC West with an 8-5 record. Quarterback Geno Smith excelled, completing 24 of 30 passes for 233 yards without being sacked, thanks to solid protection from the offensive line. The defense played a crucial role, making two key interceptions early in the game that shifted momentum. Charbonnet's explosive 51-yard touchdown run just before halftime was a highlight, showcasing his ability to break tackles.
With this victory, the Seahawks not only swept the season series against the Cardinals but also extended their dominance over their division rival, winning seven straight against Arizona. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are now on a three-game losing streak, complicating their playoff hopes. As the Seahawks prepare to face the Green Bay Packers next, they look to build on this momentum and strengthen their playoff aspirations.
