  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks have announced that their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, is sidelined due to quad and rib injuries. This marks Darnold's second injury-induced absence this season. Backup quarterback Drew Lock will assume the role of starting quarterback for the team in their upcoming Week 9 match against the Arizona Cardinals.\n\nLock previously started against the Cardinals in Week 2 after Darnold suffered an injury in the regular-season opener against the New England Patriots. During that game, Lock showcased his dominance over the Cardinals, completing 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He maintained an impressive quarterback rating of 139.1, while also capitalizing on an explosive 82-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Lock finished the game with an average of 9.0 yards per attempt, contributing significantly to the Seahawks' 31-7 victory.\n\nLock's familiarity with the Seahawks' offense under Brian Fleury should not pose any challenges during their upcoming game against the Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has not shown any significant improvement since their previous encounter with the Seahawks. Rumors suggest that the Cardinals might trade away veterans such as Budda Baker and Josh Sweat before the deadline, further weakening their defense.\n\nIt is expected that Lock will have ample opportunities to outmaneuver the Cardinals' defense in their Week 9 matchup.",
