The Seattle Seahawks just absolutely torched the Arizona Cardinals, walking into Glendale and dropping a 31-7 caning on them, but that score barely scratches the surface. This wasn’t just another win; it was our Hawks’ 12th consecutive victory, officially setting a new franchise record! You heard that right, a new high-water mark for the organization, and it feels incredible, especially after watching that blowout against a Cardinals squad that actually beat an 11-6 Chargers team last year.
Macdonald and Lock Are Making Magic
Talk about pouring in the accolades: John Schneider and Mike Macdonald are just racking them up! This team is absolutely buzzing, and what’s wild is they’re doing it with a backup quarterback at the helm. Drew Lock, the dude who everyone had pretty much written off as a bust, is out there looking like a legit starter. Sound familiar, Emerald City? We’ve seen this movie before, and we love it! The team posted a whopping 381 total yards, more than double what the Cardinals managed with their measly 150. That’s pure dominance.
Our Hawks were not scared to let Lock cook either; he slung the rock for 235 passing yards and three touchdowns! Brian Fleury’s offense resisted the temptation to go ultra-conservative without Sam Darnold in the pocket, and why would they, when the defense is just lights out? And don’t sleep on Lock, either. The man was already ranked 8th overall in QB Rating after Week 1! After that Patriots win, Lock told ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, “It’s not run it back, it’s run it forward; this is a new team. It’s about finding out what the 2026 Seahawks are all about. if tonight has any indication of how tough and resilient this group is, it would be a really good sign.”
The Record Books Are Calling Again
That “good sign” definitely carried into Week 2, and now, to extend this incredible franchise record, we need to see it stacked up again in Week 3. This squad, man, they just feel up to the task, no matter who’s under center. The resilience is real!
Next up, our Hawks are taking on the Commanders. Can you imagine going 3-0 to start the season, all without Sam Darnold? That would send a massive message to the entire league and cement this team’s place in the history books even further. Get ready, 12s, because this ride is just getting started!
