When the nature of a game shifts so dramatically in an instant, it changes just about everything a beat writer has to say. However, there is plenty that needs to be said about Seattle's TNF showdown. As always, here are the top Seahawks takeaways from their 23-20 win.

The Seahawks celebrated the 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on September 25, 2025.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba barely mustered a target through the first three quarters, but the star Seahawks wideout came alive just in time for Seattle. His four catches for 79 yards in the fourth quarter included multiple downfield receptions to put Seattle in field-goal range, including for Jason Myers’ eventual game-winner.
