⚔️ Week 10 Preview: Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals The Seattle Seahawks (6-2) return home to Lumen Field looking to solidify their position atop the NFC West as they take on their division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals (3-5). This Week 10 matchup is a rematch of a close Week 4 contest, which the Seahawks won 23-20 in Arizona.The Current MomentumSeahawks: Seattle is on a roll, riding a three-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant 38-14 victory in their last outing. The offense, led by Sam Darnold, is clicking, and the defense continues to be one of the best in the NFL.Cardinals: Arizona is coming off an impressive 27-17 upset win over the Cowboys, showing they can play complementary football. Veteran Jacoby Brissett is once again starting at quarterback, and the offense has seen an uptick in production with him under center.Key Matchups to Watch1. Seahawks Pass Rush vs. Jacoby BrissettThe Angle: The Seahawks' defensive front is ruthless, ranking high in both sack and pressure rate. Brissett is a capable pocket passer, but he was sacked five times in the win against Dallas and has been sacked frequently since taking over.Key Question: Can the Cardinals' offensive line hold up against a relentless Seahawks rush, featuring players like Leonard Williams and Boye Mafe, to give Brissett time to find his weapons?2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. Cardinals SecondaryThe Angle: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having an elite season and currently leads the NFL in receiving yards. The Seahawks have also added speedster Rashid Shaheed to their already talented receiving corps (including DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett).Key Question: The Cardinals' pass defense is middle-of-the-road. Can they find a way to contain Seattle's top receiving threat, or will JSN have another 100+ yard day at home?3. Jacoby Brissett and Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Seahawks SecondaryThe Angle: Brissett has developed quick chemistry with rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr., who had a career-high game last week. The Cardinals will need to be effective through the air to keep pace.Key Question: The Seahawks' secondary, even with potential injury concerns, has been strong. Who will corner Devon Witherspoon shadow? Limiting Harrison Jr. will be paramount for Seattle's defense.
