Performance Trends

Seattle’s Rushing Advantage

The most consistent statistical feature of the 2025 series was Seattle’s ground game.

GameSeattle Rush YardsArizona Rush YardsSeattle Advantage
Sept. 2515589+66
Nov. 9198129+69
Two-game total353218+135

Seattle averaged 176.5 rushing yards per game against Arizona in 2025. The Cardinals averaged 109.0.

Charbonnet scored twice across the two meetings, while Walker supplied 148 rushing yards.

Seattle’s Passing Efficiency

Seattle did not need enormous passing volume to beat Arizona.

Darnold threw only 38 combined regular-season passes against the Cardinals in 2025, completing 28 for 420 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His two-game completion rate was 73.7%.

By comparison, Arizona quarterbacks attempted 85 passes, completing 49 for 458 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.

The contrast is significant: Arizona attempted 47 more passes, but Seattle won both games.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs Trey McBride

The two teams’ premier receiving threats also produced contrasting workloads.

2025 Seahawks-Cardinals GamesJaxon Smith-NjigbaTrey McBride
Receptions916
Targets1124
Receiving yards172179
TDs11
Yards per reception19.111.2

McBride had more receptions and slightly more receiving yards, but Smith-Njigba produced the bigger-play profile, averaging 19.1 yards per catch across the two meetings. The September game included a 36-yard Smith-Njigba reception, while the November game featured a 43-yard touchdown.

Turnovers and Field Position

Seattle’s 44-22 victory in November illustrates the value of scoring efficiency. Arizona actually held a 21-22 first-down disadvantage, but Seattle converted 60% of its third downs and scored five touchdowns.

In September, Seattle produced a 384-253 total-yard advantage and held Arizona to 3.5 yards per pass play. Murray was intercepted twice.

Historical Context

Seattle’s recent dominance contrasts sharply with the early years of the rivalry.

The Cardinals won the first four meetings between the franchises from 1976 through 1995. Seattle then won in 1998 before the series continued to alternate between periods of Arizona and Seattle success.

The rivalry reached one of its most extreme statistical points on December 9, 2012, when Seattle defeated Arizona 58-0. The 58-point margin remains the largest Seahawks victory over the Cardinals.

Seattle’s historical franchise success also exceeds Arizona’s. The Seahawks have won two Super Bowls in four appearances, while the Cardinals have made one Super Bowl appearance and have not won the championship.

The modern statistical gap became particularly pronounced from 2022 through 2025. Seattle won all eight meetings during that period, including four victories by at least 10 points.
