Cardinals Trail Seahawks 10-7 After First Half

The Arizona Cardinals held their first ever lead after one quarter of play, but the Seattle Seahawks entered the locker room up 10-7.

GLENDALE -- It was an eventful first half between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. 

With both teams seeking a crucial win within the NFC West, the early action between the two sides would quickly eclipse their 19-9 snoozefest last provided back in Week 6. 

Seattle began the game with the ball and quickly found themselves in scoring territory, although they would be relegated to a Jason Myers 49-yard field goal to open the scoring. 

Kyler Murray and company responded by scoring their first opening touchdown drive of the season, which was capped off by a 22-yard reception from DeAndre Hopkins. Arizona carried a 7-3 lead into the second quarter.

That lead wouldn't last long into the second, as DK Metcalf would put the Seahawks back in front with a beautiful toe-tap in the back of the end zone.

Up 10-7 and facing a fourth-and-short at the AZ 36-yard line, the Seahawks would opt to go for it but ultimately failed, as Zach Allen sniffed out the screen pass to force a turnover on downs. 

Down to their own three-yard line, Arizona was able to march their way down to the SEA 40-yard line before a fourth-and-short would see Kyler Murray escape a sack and break a big run.. before having the ball punched out of his grasp, turning it over and forfeiting any hope of drawing square or even taking a lead. 

What a play by Ryan Neal to knock the football loose 👏

Seattle would try their best to squeeze points out of the remaining seconds but nothing would materialize, taking a 10-7 lead into the locker room.

The Cardinals will receive the ball to begin the second half.
