The Seattle Seahawks moved into first place in the NFC West after beating the Arizona Cardinals, 16-6.
A Coby Bryant pick-six of Kyler Murray and an 8-minute drive resulting in a field goal proved pivotal moments in a high-intensity, defense-driven affair. Both offenses finished with negative EPA per play marks, but Seattle's 50% third-down conversion rate (compared to Arizona's 25%) proved key.
Seattle's defense got the edge of the high-flying Cardinals, limiting Arizona to zero touchdowns on two red-zone trips and only 278 total yards. Just two Cardinals finished the game with a 70.0-plus overall offensive grade, pending final review.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Arizona didn't come out victorious in Seattle, but Williams did his thing. The breakout second-year corner was targeted only two times, allowing one catch for four yards. His other target turned into a red-zone interception of Geno Smith, which seemed to be a major turning point in the matchup.
