Jaxon Smith-Njigba Goes Off as Seahawks Blow Out Cardinals 31-7
Lock completed 18 of 25 passes for 231 yards and no interceptions as Seattle built a 24-7 lead.
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with backup quarterback Drew Lock throwing three touchdown passes to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Drew Lock made his first start after starter Sam Darnold suffered a glute injury during the season opener against the New England Patriots, forcing the backup into a starting role.
Smith-Njigba dominated the Arizona secondary with nine receptions for 155 yards and three touchdowns, including an 82-yard score in the first quarter that gave Seattle an early lead.
Defensively, the Seahawks stifled the Cardinals, limiting them to 150 total yards. Lock played during the final season of his $5 million contract, potentially showcasing his value.
Extending their winning streak to 12 games overall, the defending champion Seahawks face Washington next week. The victory marked their 10th consecutive win against the Cardinals.
