First half highlights: Seahawks lead 14-10

It’s been a sloppy and bizarre first half for the Seattle Seahawks. But with the Arizona Cardinals in town, did we expect anything different? The Cardinals have always played the Seahawks tough in Seattle, and this trend is continuing, albeit with the Hawks shooting themselves in the foot a bit. Fortunately for the home team, they find themselves up 14-10 at the half.

Seattle started the game with a 28-yard touchdown strike to rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who recorded his first career score.

7-11 is open for business!

Unfortunately, on the ensuing Cardinals possession, a punt from their 15-yard line resulted in retaining possession at the Seahawks 30-yard line thanks to a fumbled return from DeeJay Dallas.

A special teams boost for the @azcardinals ‼️

The Cardinals were held to a field goal. On their next possession, Arizona drove the ball deep into Seattle territory, but Cards quarterback Josh Dobbs was intercepted by Devon Witherspoon in the end zone. Or so we thought. I’d love to share that highlight, but it was erased due to multiple penalties on both teams.

What resulted was a 1st and goal from the 25 for Arizona, which turned into this:

The Seahawks were able to retake the lead on the next drive, thanks to a remarkable touchdown grab from fan-favorite rookie receiver Jake Bobo. Initially called an incompletion, head coach Pete Carroll had his second successful challenge of the half and overturned the call.
