Seahawks center Jalen Sundell named to PFF’s Week 9 Team of the Week
Jalen Sundell played great in the Seahawks’ win over the Cardinals and was recognized for it above his peers at the position in the NFL for the week.
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks secured a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, and center Jalen Sundell was recognized for his standout performance by being named to Pro Football Focus' Team of the Week. Throughout the game, Sundell demonstrated his prowess by preventing any sacks on Arizona's defensive line, effectively neutralizing their pressure on Seattle's quarterback, Drew Lock.
His defensive stability allowed Lock to remain comfortable and focused, completing 19 of his 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown without giving up a single sack.
Sundell's contributions extended beyond just preventing sacks; he played an instrumental role in controlling the tempo of the game and enabling the Seahawks to establish a strong ground game. The team amassed a total of 120 rushing yards on 33 attempts, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, with key players Zach Charbonnet and AJ Barner stepping up to the challenge. Charbonnet rushed for 77 yards on 16 carries, while Barner scored a rushing touchdown, showcasing the Seahawks' ability to control the game on the ground.
Sundell's exceptional performance was crucial in maintaining Seattle's offensive rhythm and securing the much-needed victory. His efforts up front not only provided the necessary protection for Lock but also allowed the team to dictate the pace and outcome of the game.
