Seahawks led 7-3 after Jaxon Smith-Njigba TD late in first half

The Seahawks scored on their first four possessions on Sunday, so they needed someone to spark their offense against the Cardinals.

Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned out to be the guy they were looking for. Smith-Njigba turned a short Geno Smith pass into a 46-yard gain that put the Seahawks inside the Arizona 5-yard line after the two-minute warning.

Smith and Smith-Njigba got a three-yard score a few plays later, allowing the Seahawks to go into halftime with a 7-3 lead.

The Cardinals pass rush dropped Smith for four sacks and they have allowed just 21 yards on the ground, but their offense was unable to capitalize on the opportunities. They had only one drive that reached Seahawks territory, and it ended in a field goal when a holding penalty took a Kyler Murray touchdown pass to Michael Wilson off the board in the second quarter.

Both teams will look to find more consistent responses on offense after the break, and the team that does should position themselves for a win.
