Seahawks Drive Of The Game: Seattle Uses Run Game To Go On 16-Play, 10-Minute Scoring Drive

The Seahawks’ offense went 70 yards, on 16 plays in 10:14 in the fourth quarter of their 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Seahawks Week 2 Drive of the Game

Seattle's 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday was capped off by a drive where the Seahawks displayed the toughness of the offensive line and the ability to run the ball.

During the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, after running back Jadarian Price left the game with a chest injury, Emanuel Wilson led the charge for Seattle's run game. On the final drive, Wilson carried the ball on 10 of the 17 plays.

"He was tired there," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "We took a time out to catch his breath. We were down to one (running) back, but the offensive line got a game ball today. JB (John Benton) broke it down, which is awesome. That's how we want to close games out. That's Seahawk football right there. That's how we want to play. Really proud of our team. (From) pushing piles, playing through the echo of the whistle, playing physically and identifying the front. There's a lot of great stuff there. (We were) playing together and I'm really proud of how we closed the game out."

Since Benton was hired in 2025, Seattle's offensive line has played with more cohesion and last season allowed just 27 sacks, which was tied for fifth fewest in the league and helped the offense score a franchise record 483 points.

"Holy cow. It's awesome playing behind those guys," quarterback Drew Lock said. "They're an awesome group, an awesome unit. They picked me up all week and talked through everything all week. Man, they were so fun to work with. To be able to go on that drive that they did where all I had to do was say,' Set. Hut.' Then hand it off to E-Man (Emanuel Wilson) who did a phenomenal job on that drive too. That was just awesome. Just awesome football, those guys."

After getting a game ball, Benton said, "Been around a long time, never been a part of something like this. From that side of the room to that side, to that side, it's really something special."

The Seahawks finished with 162 yards and one touchdown on the ground on 40 carries, good for 4.1 yards per carry.

Lock said, "Oh, it's awesome. I feel like it's something Mike talks about often. We talk about pushing piles often, finishing, going forward and never backwards. I honestly feel like you could look at every play in that drive and say that we were trying to do all of those and probably succeeding at most."

Seattle finished the drive with a one-yard touchdown carry by AJ Barner.
