AJ Barner absolutely found the end zone twice for the Seattle Seahawks against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, putting up one of the most bizarre stat lines of the season. The dude racked up two touchdowns, but get this: he only managed 10 total yards for the entire game. Yeah, you read that right.
Two TDs, Ten Yards, Pure Chaos
Our tight end, Barner, was a red zone monster for the Emerald City’s offense. He caught two of his four targets for a measly seven yards and a receiving touchdown. But he wasn’t done there! He also tacked on three rushes for three yards and, somehow, another score on the ground. You gotta love the efficiency, even if the yardage makes you scratch your head. It’s a wild stat line, for sure, showing he’s got that knack for finding paydirt, even when he isn’t racking up big gains.
What This Wild Performance Really Means
This two-touchdown outburst was a pretty big deal for Barner, especially considering his season before this game. He came into Week 9 with just one touchdown on the year! And honestly, pulling in more than 23 total yards in a game has only happened twice for him all season. So, what does this tell us? It means Barner, at his best, is a touchdown-dependent TE2. He’s not gonna be burning up the stat sheets with receiving yards, but when the Seahawks get close to the goal line, he clearly has a nose for the end zone. Could this be a new trend for the 12s to watch?
The Seahawks will need players who can convert when it counts, and Barner definitely proved he can do that, even if it’s in a super unconventional way. We’ll be keeping a close eye on if he can replicate this kind of goal-line magic moving forward.
