The pre-game read

Seattle won the Super Bowl last season and beat New England 13-10 in Week 1, though they needed Drew Lock to lead two fourth-quarter scoring drives after Sam Darnold went down. Lock starts again this week with Darnold out (glute). Arizona upset the Chargers 26-14 but now loses QB Kyler Murray to concussion protocol — Carson Wentz starts, a massive downgrade. The Seahawks' elite defense is the differentiator here. Both teams have backup QBs, but Seattle's defensive talent and championship pedigree give them the edge at home in Arizona. The contrary case is Lock's career 59.9% completion rate and 79.5 passer rating.
