Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner had the play of the game for the team on Sunday in their 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals with a sensational touchdown catch at the end of the first half.
With 0:15 remaining in the second quarter, Barner caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock that put Seattle up 14-3. Barner ran up the middle and showed off great hands by reeling in Lock’s pass, which was placed perfectly for him to bring in, and established the momentum that carried the Seahawks through the remainder of the contest.
Barner’s contribution helped Seattle secure an important divisional win and provided a spark for an offense that was in need of one at that point in the game.
Barner recorded two receptions for seven yards and a receiving touchdown, along with three rushing attempts for three yards and a rushing touchdown in the game. On the season, he has totaled 23 receptions for 210 yards and one receiving touchdown, adding seven carries for eight yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Looking ahead, Barner may have the momentum needed to raise his level of play for the rest of the season. His versatility gives the Seahawks another option as they pursue consistency and position themselves for a competitive second half of the season.
