There are many reasons why you might want to record audio on your Android phone. For example, you may want to take voice notes or record a phone call. Luckily, recording sound on Android is super simple using built-in options.

How to Record Sound on Android
    Record External Audio
    Record Internal Audio
    Converting Your Video File to an Audio File

Using your Android phone, you can record both internal and external audio. Simply follow the steps below.
To record your own voice using your phone‘s built-in mic or an external mic, use the stock Voice Recorder app on your phone.
Get started by opening your app drawer and launching the Voice Recorder app.
Depending on your phone model, you’ll have various ways to record the audio. For example, in Samsung’s Voice Recorder, you’ll find three recording options: Standard , Interview , and Speech-to-Text .
To begin recording, at the bottom of the app, tap the red Record button.

Voice Recorder has now started recording. Speak into your phone’s mic (or an external mic) and your voice or other sounds will be captured.
If you’d like to pause the current recording, tap the Pause button.
When you’ve finished the recording and want to save it, at the bottom of your screen, tap the Stop button.

You’ll see a Save Recording prompt asking you to save your current audio recording. Here, tap the text field and type a name for the audio file. Optionally, tap the “Category” drop-down menu and choose a category for your file.
Then, tap the “Save” option.

And you’re all done. Your voice recording has been successfully saved on your phone.
Later, you can access your recordings from within the Voice Recorder app.
Most Voice Recorder apps allow you to customize how the sound is recorded. To access those options, in the app’s top-right corner, tap the three-dot menu and choose “Settings.” Then, configure the options the way you prefer.

Android’s stock Voice Recorder app doesn’t allow you to record the sounds coming from your installed apps. You’ll have to use another built-in feature on your phone or a third-party app to record internal audio on Android.
RELATED: How to Record Discord Audio
The built-in feature that you can use is called Screen Recorder. As the name implies, it records your phone’s screen, but you can also choose to have your phone’s internal sound recorded.
To use the built-in method, pull down twice from your phone’s screen and tap “Screen Recorder.”

On the “Screen Recorder” panel, in the “Sound Settings” section, choose “Media Sounds.” This ensures your recording captures the audio from your installed apps.
Next, tap “Start Recording.”

You’ll see a countdown before the recording begins. Then, your phone will start recording your phone’s system sounds.

When you’ve finished recording, in your screen’s top-right corner, tap the stop button.

Your screen recording is now saved in your phone’s Gallery app.
If you prefer keeping your recording in an audio format, then download a free audio conversion app like MP3 Video Converter.
Launch the app once it’s downloaded. Then, on the main app page, tap “Select.”

Choose your screen recording from the list.

This particular app allows you to convert your videos to MP3 or AAC format. To choose between these options, tap the “Copy (AAC)” or “MP3” button, depending on what’s currently selected.
Then, begin the conversion process by tapping “Convert” at the bottom.

Wait while the app converts your file. When it’s done, play your converted file by tapping “Play.” You can find the converted audio file in your file manager by accessing the path listed next to the Play button.

And that’s it. Got an iPhone and want to record audio on it? If so, it’s equally easy to do that.

Former President Donald Trump pressed Arizona Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters to maintain the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” after Masters had conceded in a public debate he had seen no evidence of widespread fraud, a new documentary shows.
“I got a lot of complaints about that. I don’t know what you did with the debate, but I heard you did great in the debate, but bad election answer,” Trump told Masters in a phone call that was videotaped for “Tucker Carlson Originals,” a short documentary by the Fox News conservative commentator that posted Tuesday on the Fox Nation streaming site.
At one point on the tape, Trump said he would see Masters the next day, suggesting the call happened Oct. 8, two days after the debate with incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., and Libertarian Marc Victor, and just ahead of a rally in Mesa.
Previously: 4 takeaways from Kelly-Masters Senate debate
“You’ve got a lot of support. You’ve got to stay with those people,” Trump told Masters.
“Absolutely, we stay with those people,” Masters responded. “And it was a pleasure to put Mark Kelly on the ropes.”
The Masters campaign did not immediately clarify Tuesday whether he still acknowledges there was no evidence of widespread fraud in election administration, as he said during the debate. Masters has long held the election was “unfair” because reports of potential wrongdoing by President Joe Biden’s son didn’t receive more public attention, and has maintained that view after the debate.
Kelly’s campaign accused Masters of taking orders from Trump.
“Arizona deserves a principled Senator who always puts their interests first, not one who will sell out Arizona voters and cast doubt on our elections just because he was scolded on the phone,” said Sarah Guggenheimer, a spokeswoman for the Kelly campaign.
Trump’s interest in the 2020 election answer brings new attention to an issue central to Trump’s interests and something that Masters has faced questions about as well.
Masters recast his campaign website relating to the election after winning the August Republican primary. It had said, in part, “the 2020 election was a rotten mess — if we had had a free and fair election, President Trump would be sitting in the Oval Office today and America would be so much better off.”
After the primary, it said, “We need to get serious about election integrity.”
On Oct. 12, the day early ballots went out in Arizona and after his phone call with Trump, Masters told Fox News that he still feels like Trump would be sitting in the White House “if everyone followed the law,” then outlined his long-held narrative of coordinated censorship that he said cost Trump the election.
Trump, meanwhile, is freshly facing a subpoena from the House special committee investigating the causes of the riot at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. Several key witnesses have told investigators that Trump knew he lost the election early on but insisted in public that it was stolen.
Earlier in the Carlson video, Masters is shown in what appears to be his campaign van riding away from the debate. He says to his wife, “I said I saw no evidence of fraud. Some people really won’t like that.”
Sometime later in the edited video, Trump advised Masters again to embrace the stolen-election narrative that Trump has held and suggested it is the secret to Republican Kari Lake’s momentum in the governor’s race.
“If you want to get across the line, you’ve got to go stronger on that one thing. That was the one thing. There was a lot of complaints about,” Trump is heard saying.
“Look at Kari. Kari is winning with very little money. If they say, ‘How is your family?’ She says the election was rigged and stolen. You’ll lose if you go soft. You’re going to lose that base.”
“I’m not going soft,” Masters responded. A few seconds later, after Trump hung up, Masters turned to the camera and said, “I didn’t think I went soft.”
In Mesa, Trump declared, “Blake Masters absolutely annihilated Mark Kelly in their debate.”
During a 100-minute speech that often hovered over his false claims of a stolen election, Trump praised Masters at one point, saying he is a “tireless champion” for “election integrity.”
Masters didn’t raise the election issue in two sets of comments to the crowd that day.
During the debate three days earlier, Ted Simons, the moderator, asked Masters to clarify whether vote-counting or election results had been “rigged in any way, shape or form to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.”
“I haven’t seen evidence of that,” Masters replied.
He made that concession after outlining the narrative that the FBI, technology companies and the media effectively tipped the election by suppressing information about Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, who was linked in some media accounts to possible criminal activities.
“I think it’s a problem that the FBI forced Facebook — they pressured Facebook and other Big Tech companies — to censor true information about Hunter Biden’s crimes in the weeks before the 2020 election, and so millions of Americans didn’t get to read about that,” Masters said.
“When the media is lying to people, helping Big Tech, and apparently federal law enforcement, censor information about presidential candidates, well, I think people start to worry about the integrity of their elections,” Masters said.
Trump’s conversation with Masters is a reminder that the first-time candidate won Trump’s endorsement in the five-way Republican primary in June in part because of his willingness to claim the election was “unfair” or effectively stolen. Masters moved to the top of the GOP field only after securing Trump’s backing.
Trump had long telegraphed to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, another Senate candidate, that he was watching to see what the state’s top law enforcement officer would do with information collected as part of the state Senate’s partisan review of Maricopa County’s ballots in 2021.
GOP support: Rick Scott rallies for Senate hopeful Blake Masters
Brnovich’s office opened an investigation, but ultimately didn’t find widespread fraud and lost the primary with Trump’s public scorn.
The Carlson video also included a moment when Trump tells Masters to urge Peter Thiel, his mentor, co-author and former employer, to get more involved in the final stage of the election.
Trump asked if Thiel, who spent at least $15 million backing Masters’ efforts during the primary, is helping now.
“He is, a little bit more behind the scenes. I don’t know what happened there, but money is flowing in now,” Masters said. Thiel held a fundraiser for Masters after the primary.
Trump urged Masters to “Tell Peter to help you.”

Born DeAndre Ramone Way in Chicago, Illinois on July 28, 1990, Soulja Boy moved from Chicago to Atlanta, Georgia at seven years old. At age 14, he moved to Mississippi with his dad, who found a way to help his son reach his musical desires. In November 2005, Soulja Boy posted his songs on YouTube and after receiving positive reviews on the site, he worked harder towards hitting fame on YouTube and MySpace.

By the end of May, “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” got its first radio airplay and Soulja Boy signed a deal with Interscope Records. 
His single “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” reached number one on the Billboard Top 100 in September of that same year and followed up with his second album souljaboytell.com. In 2008, iSouljaBoyTellem was released and his fourth studio album, The DeAndre Way, in November 2010.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – After months of questioning and controversy, a candidate for the South Carolina Superintendent of Education race says she completed the requirements for a master’s degree in Educational Leadership.
Ellen Weaver (R) has been subject to scrutiny from educators and opponents for failing to adhere to the state’s requirement for candidacy.
Per the South Carolina State House, a superintendent of education must hold a master’s degree and have experience in public education. In turn, Weaver enrolled in Bob Jones University (BJU) and is said to have completed 33 hours of coursework in six months’ time.
“I am proud to say I did every lick of work that’s required of this master’s degree. I am incredibly proud of the hard work that I did,” said Weaver over the phone.
Dr. Jim Rex, the last Democratic Superintendent of Education, says Weaver’s academic journey was obscure.
“It’s highly unusual for someone to complete a master’s degree in that time frame. In my experience, it’s unprecedented,” said Dr. Rex in his home.
It is worth noting that at least one BJU faculty member donated to Weaver’s campaign earlier this year. Come August, she was photographed with BJU president Dr. Steve Pettit in his home.
“I don’t think you can draw, necessarily, an implication as to what that means. But it does raise a number of questions as to what that means,” said Dr. Rex.
Meanwhile, Weaver is using the past six months as an example of how hard she’s willing to work for the state’s educational system.
Weaver and Lisa Ellis are scheduled for a televised debate from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. on Nov. 2.

Crisscrsossing the State: The early November round-up of Michigan releases.
November already has brought every imaginable weather change to Michigan from blustery, cold rain to unseasonably warm balminess.
Support our coverage of
West Michigan’s music scene
Local Spins’ early November round-up of releases by Michigan artists boasts the same sort of variation, not only in genres but in the geographic locations of the various acts touting fresh music.
Check out the reviews and listen to the music from a half-dozen releases below. And browse reviews of many more Michigan releases here.

Nathan Walton & The Remedy
“Daybreak”
What Stands Out: Nathan Walton continues to make a name for himself in the Michigan music scene, building off a 2020 appearance on “American Idol” with his debut record, “Nathan Walton & The Remedy” while regularly performing around Michigan and hosting fellow songwriters at Greyline Brewing Company. Fresh off of a summer of stellar performances, Walton returns with The Remedy on “Daybreak,” the first of two releases dropping before the end of this year. Songs on this record range from powerhouse rock ’n’ roll to soulful ballads and includes features from all around The Remedy. It is a record that emphasizes the power of the collective while Walton leads confidently at the helm, and the result is some of the strongest soulful rock music in the region.
Digging Deeper: Nathan Walton has proven himself to be committed to the craft and navigating the music scene with passion, talent and a strong urge to help others with his platform. This first of two 2022 releases highlights his powerful voice supported by a great community of West Michigan talent. “Daybreak” also serves as a way to introduce audiences to the range of influences that keep The Remedy forged in healing, uplifting music while taking stylistic excursions in fun, well-executed and unexpected ways. Keep an eye out for “Night Drive” later this year to complete the double album-release.
Perfect For: Cranking the stereo in the car and piercing the cold winter with a soulful burst of rock energy. – Dutcher Snedeker
Website: https://www.nathanwaltonlive.com/
Upcoming Shows: Wednesday (Nov. 9) at Montcalm Community College; Friday (Nov. 11) at Garage Bar & Grill in Grand Rapids; Nov. 18 at The Livery in Benton Harbor; Dec. 1 at Midtown (formerly Listening Room) in Grand Rapids for the “Night Drive” record-release
Listen/Watch: “Get Myself Back on My Feet”


Aspen Jacobsen
“Arsonist Daughter”
What Stands Out: Aspen Jacobsen, the fiery 18-year-old songwriter who was featured in a Local Spins “Artist to Watch” article this year, has released “Arsonist Daughter,’ an album packed with blazing instrumentals and scorching vocals that lyrically center around “relationships, religion, mental health and social constructs with insightfulness well beyond her years,” according to her website. The high-quality production and musicianship on this record cannot be understated, with such a presence felt from every note and a careful treatment of each song’s mood in the arranging and engineering, no doubt thanks to the combined production efforts from Jacobsen and Dominic Davis (bassist for Jack White). It is a record that ebbs and flows from darker, moodier melodies to lively bluegrass, with Jacobsen’s talents standing front and center.
Digging Deeper: The fact that Aspen Jacobsen has already put 8 years into her performing craft at such a young age would be cause for celebration alone, but to have such well-written, dynamic, and interesting music at this same age belays an exciting prospect for a long-lasting career in music. As she states, “I don’t like to preach my own beliefs, but rather ignite thought and reflection about things that are important to me. I hope my music can help spark dialogs that lead to change and making the world a better place.” Arsonist Daughter sets fire to any expectations when one hears of a teenage songwriter steeped in the world of Old Time and Americana, demonstrating that aforementioned talent “well beyond her years” in spades.
Perfect For: Blazing a new path forward and striding confidently into the flames with a song in your heart. – Dutcher Snedeker
Website: https://aspenjacobsen.com/
Upcoming Show: Nov. 12 at Sunset @ The Village in Los Angeles
Listen: “Enough”


Ethereal
“Mind Your Ceilings”
What Stands Out: Ethereal is a new project from artists Jules Camp and Arden Toler, one that has been incubating since 2018 and one that recently released the debut album, “Mind Your Ceilings.” As they describe it, Ethereal centers around “a contrast between Camp’s lyrics of anxiety and anger, with upbeat tones by Toler to follow, and help drown out some of our daily inner thoughts.” Listeners are treated to ambient synths, electronic beats and vocals that casually flow or catch a vibe on more upbeat tunes.
Digging Deeper: Ethereal provides a succinct introduction to its sound on this record coming in at just under 34 minutes. “Mind Your Ceilings” is moody music with a solid bedrock of electronic soundscapes for the vocals and lyricism to contrast.
Perfect For: Staring out of the window of a moving bus as the world swirls around you, letting your thoughts drift and your emotions time to process. – Dutcher Snedeker
Website: https://www.facebook.com/etherealtunes
Listen: “0880”


Dreas
“Stimulus Response”
What Stands Out: Chances are, this could be the most unique album you’ll hear today: There are only two songs, and each one is precisely 20 minutes long. Grand Rapids’ Dreas originally released “Stimulus Response,” a genre-bending fusion of electronic music, hip hop and more, as a cassette tape with Potions Music NYC. So, the two songs available for streaming represent the twin sides of the cassette. According to the artist, each “song” is more like its own EP.
Digging Deeper: “Michigan Transmissions,” the first half of the album, is described as “flowing freely through the Michigan landscape.” Indeed, it begins with the tranquil sounds of nature, complete with wind chimes. Percussion is quickly introduced, but it’s complementary, not overpowering. Of course, “Michigan Transmissions” is, in actuality, a collection of songs, and its most fun offering occurs around the 7:50 mark. There, Dreas introduces a dreamy hip-hop style that wouldn’t be out of place in Anderson .Paak’s discography. “Michigan Transmissions” also includes a thought-provoking assertion of (limited) human agency, from which the album’s title is derived: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space,” says a robotic female voice. “In that space is power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Perfect For: Those who yearn for a vibrant musical journey. – Katie Rosendale
Website: https://dreaspotions.bandcamp.com/
Listen: “Michigan Transmissions”


Eliza Thorp
“Stories We Told Along the Way”
What Stands Out: Northern Michigan artist Eliza Thorp returns with “Stories We Told Along The Way,” her sophomore release following her 2019 debut, “Queen Of The Sea.” This record was successfully funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and features a collection of stories written over the past few years detailing her constantly changing life and emphasizing her desire to provide healing to those listening. Guest artist Charlie Millard can be heard on organ and accordion, and joining her on the record once again is cellist Jordan Hamilton and upright bassist Max Lockwood. These stellar musicians all elevate the moods and messages felt throughout the record as Thorpe creates an intimate, cozy listening experience to bare her soul.
Digging Deeper: “Stories We Told Along The Way” shines a bright spotlight on Eliza Thorp, her collaborators, the tales she weaves into heartful songs and the community she reflects and amplifies in her artistic pursuit. Every arrangement has memorable moments that are so simply and powerfully expressed through this tight-knit ensemble of artists. This record is the perfect complement to fall and a wonderful addition to any songwriter’s collection.
Perfect For: Anyone looking out of a rainy window this fall contemplating your own life’s journey and seeking the comfort artistic storytelling. – Dutcher Snedeker
Website: https://www.elizathorpmusic.com/
Upcoming Show: Nov. 17 at Walloon Lake Winery (album-release show)
Listen: “Mountain Song”


Mercury Salad
“Mercury Salad, Vol. 3”
What Stands Out: Ypsilanti-based Mercury Salad blends folk, funk and rock to create a unique — and wonderful — sound. Each of the album’s five songs has its own mood and style. Some, such as “Best Guess,” are relaxed, folksy songs about hoping for love, while funk influences are evident in the groovy “Hot Sauce 2.0.” Through it all, the band employs simple harmonies and strong rhythmic elements: typically guitar, bass and drums, although cello and horns have their moment to shine, too. Lead singer Brooke Ratliff’s vocals are always stellar, but they’re most impressive when Ratliff showcases the power of her lower register, like in the fiery “Walk Around” — a standout track.
Digging Deeper: “Hot Sauce 2.0” grabs you from the beginning, with a simple but delightful guitar hook. Then, the song’s full funky flavor kicks in, pulling you into a four-and-a-half-minute (or less, if you listen to the abridged radio edit) dance party, complete with a chorus of “yeahs.”. For such a fun track, the lyrics are scathing: “We can’t pretend your intentions are good / and everything’s shiny, just don’t look under the hood,” Ratliff sings.
Perfect For: Anyone looking to groove with an eclectic but consistently delightful collection of songs. – Katie Rosendale
Website: https://mercurysalad.com/
Upcoming Show: Dec. 2 at Blom Meadworks in Ann Arbor (for Ann Arbor Midnight Madness)
Listen: “Hot Sauce 2.0”

The surging Seattle Seahawks completed a season sweep of the Arizona Cardinals and extended their lead atop the NFC West with a 31-21 victory Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium.
The Seahawks have won four in a row and moved to 6-3 on the season, extending their lead in the division over the idle San Francisco 49ers (4-4).
The Seahawks will head home to Seattle for a couple days off before heading back out on the road Wednesday for their longest trip ever — a trip to Germany for next Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.
Here are three immediate impressions from the game.
READ MORE >>>
GLENDALE, Ariz. — It was workmanlike. Maybe at times not all that exciting. And, for an instant, even a little anxiety-inducing.
But when it was over, the Seahawks had one of the most satisfying wins they’ve had in years here Sunday, a 31-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals that gave them a sweep over one of their most heated NFC West rivals.
It was also the Seahawks’ fourth straight win, improving their record to 6-3 and keeping them in front of the NFC West by a game-and-a-half.
And it was achieved with another stellar performance by a Seattle defense that a month ago was drawing comparisons to some of the worst in team history.

Final: #Seahawks 31, Cardinals 21. Fourth straight win, and keep their hold on first place in division at 6-3.
Game over. Seahawks win 31-21 and improve to 6-3 and cover the spread.
The Russell Wilson-less Seahawks have now scored 27 or more points in five of their last six games. https://t.co/2nFCrseXrM
Walker with a 5-yard TD run, and the #Seahawks have their fourth straight win safely in hand. They lead 31-21 with 2:14 left.

Cardinals not going quietly. They execute a 75-yard scoring drive, with Murray hitting Ertz with a 6-yard TD pass. #Seahawks lead, 24-21 with 3:32 left in regulation.
Seahawks get exactly what they need: A 13-play, 81-yard touchdown drive that eats up 6:46 and puts them up by two scores, 24-14, with 7:32 left. Kenneth Walker III with the 1-yard TD run, but a Smith 19-yard scramble on 3rd-and-7 at midfield was the key play.
Walker 1-yard TD and Seattle has a two-score lead with 7:32 left in the game. And people are filing the heck out of here…… https://t.co/dgRjlpuba1
Arizona brings the house on third and 7 and Geno Smith smartly reads it and keeps the ball and goes up the middle to the 33…….
Arizona took a 14-10 lead midway through the third quarter when Zaven Collins picked off a flat swing pass from Geno Smith and returned it 30 yards untouched for a touchdown.
A big part of Smith’s success this season has been his ability to avoid those oh-no plays — and that was about as bad as it gets. Smith was trying to get the ball to Kenneth Walker III on a dump off, but his throw was far too low — a pretty easy play, really, for Collins to snatch it and score.
Credit to Smith and the Seahawks offense for their response to the turnover.
Smith marched the Seahawks 75 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, capped by a 9-yard TD pass to Tyler Lockett. On the play before the TD pass, Smith was fortunate not to have a pass intended for Will Dissly intercepted.
Bruce Irvin, five days after his 35th birthday, picked up his first sack of the season late in the third quarter.
In his third stint with the Seahawks, Irvin started at edge rusher for the second straight week.
Uchenna Nwosu had the Seahawks’ first sack of Kyler Murray early in the third quarter, and the Seahawks will have to contain the Arizona QB if they hope to hold on to this 17-14 lead entering the fourth quarter.
Murray sacked by Shelby Harris, and Seahawks do indeed force a punt.

Smith to Lockett for 9 yards and the TD, and that was a heck of a drive after the pick six….

Nice answer by Geno Smith after throwing a pick six, marching Seahawks 75 yards for a go-ahead touchdown (though he lucked out when a would-be interception wasn't grabbed by Arizona).
Seahawks converted four third downs on 13-play, 70-yard drive for a TD to take a 17-14 lead with 2:43 left in third quarter.
Third and 12 and crowd rocking and Seahawks pick it up with a pass to Lockett and a roughness penalty on Collins.

Well, that wasn't good. Geno Smith's intended pass to Walker is picked off by Zaven Collins, who takes it 30 yards to the end zone. All of a sudden, #Seahawks trail, 14-10.
With six — which would have been good to include the first time. https://t.co/UKYpBO7l0w
Back to back sacks turn second and two into fourth and 14 and Seattle will punt.
The Seahawks are doing some good things on defense to hold the Cardinals to seven points.
But Seattle has also gotten some breaks — a bad snap helped kill one Arizona drive; two false start penalties killed another; and then what seemed like fairly careless ball handling by Kyler Murray led to a fumble that ended Arizona’s last drive and meant Arizona didn’t get a chance to try a tying field goal. That fumble came after a dropped pass by Robbie Anderson that also would have put Arizona in field goal range. All of those plays help explain why Arizona has been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL so far this year.
One of the big storylines heading into the game was the matchup of Seattle rookie corner Tariq Woolen against Arizona standout receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins usually lines up on the left side or over Woolen on the right. But Arizona has moved him around some today, and Hopkins has three catches for 32 yards, including a 22-yard TD. None of those receptions came when matched up against Woolen. When Arizona did test Woolen with Hopkins, he broke up a third-down pass to end a Cardinals drive late in the second quarter.
The Seahawks haven’t gotten a lot done in the running game so far, with 52 yards on 13 attempts. Kenneth Walker III has 31 yards on nine attempts, but 15 of those came on one run with the Cardinals otherwise keeping him under wraps.
Seattle didn’t seem to show a lot of confidence in its running game when it had a third-and-4 at the Arizona 38, and, first, called a sweep that was officially a pass to Travis Homer for two yards, and then on fourth-and-2 called a shovel pass to tight end Colby Parkinson.
Seattle will hope to get the running game going better in the second half as it did in the first game between these two, when Walker’s 11-yard TD in the fourth quarter helped seal the win.

Kyler Murray breaks into the open and then — just like last time — is hit from behind and fumbles the ball away . Ryan Neal the forced fumble that basically prevents three points by Arizona. https://t.co/pOcorA8Ewz
A lot to unpack there — Murray escapes a certain sack to get first-down yardage — but Ryan Neal punches the ball out and Seahawks recover with 15 seconds left in half. That saved 3 points, maybe more.
Ryan Neal has been making some PLAYS lately. Lots of pieces to be excited about on this #Seahawks defense.
What a play by Ryan Neal to knock the football loose 👏

Seahawks with the preventiest of prevent defenses on third and 14 but the Cardinals get it anyway with some hard running after the catch from Eno Benjamin.
Another really nice special teams play by Dareke Young……
Budda Baker and Pete Carroll having some sort of fun discussion after that last play. Carroll and Baker dapped it up afterward.
Seahawks go back to Gabe Jackson at right guard. Jackson played first two series, Haynes the next two.
Tariq Woolen with the PBU on the crossing pattern to Hopkins. First target of the day from Murray to Hopkins when he was defended by Woolen and the rookie gets it done.
Some weird play calls there. Seattle gets to the 38 with a third and four and then two behind-the-line passes to Travis Homer and Colby Parkinson lose a combined two yards and Arizona takes over at its own 40.
After the holding penalty, Seahawks start at the Arizona 44. Phil Haynes still in at RG.
Two straight false starts for Arizona, and they can't even blame the noise at Lumen
Geno had 13 TD passes (and 13 INTs) with the Jets as a 24-year-old in 2014, his last season (until now) as a full-time starter.

Up to 14 TD (with 3 INTs) in ninth game this season. https://t.co/hU0RgUebQf
Man what a dart from Geno Smith. Hits Metcalf in the back of the end zone for the TD and Seattle with a 10-7 lead at 11:59 of the second quarter with the PAT good.
It was a rough start for the Seahawks defense, which allowed the Cardinals to march down the field on a nine-play, 83-yard drive, capped by Kyler Murray’s 22-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins’ return is already a difference-maker in this game. Hopkins, who was serving a suspension, did not play in the Seahawks’ victory over the Cardinals in Seattle last month.
He went untouched on his TD reception, breaking free from outside linebacker Boye Mafe — asked to drop in coverage in a definite miss-match — on a crossing route that appeared to have Seattle’s defense confused.
Murray had a perfect start with his arm, completing all six of his pass attempts (for 54 yards) in the first quarter.
But it’s what Murray can do with his feet that makes him so dangerous.
Murray’s elusiveness was the difference in the Cardinals’ opening drive. On third-and-5, the Seahawks’ pass rush was able to collapse the pocket; Uchenna Nwosu even got a hand on the Arizona QB, but Murray was able to escape and break loose for a 21-yard gain.
The Seahawks defense got a stop on Arizona’s second possession thanks to a bad snap from Cardinals center Billy Price.
The snap flew over Murray’s head inside the Arizona 15-yard line; James Conner chased down the fumble, but it resulted in a 15-yard loss and the Cardinals had to punt.
The snaps have been a recurring issue for Price, whose first snap of the game to Murray in the shotgun was also high. That’ll obviously be something to monitor the rest of the game.

Really nice special teams play there by Dareke Young with the tackle on the punt.
Seahawks a quick three and out…..
Crossing route to Hopkins who takes it 22 yards for the TD. Mafe the closest defender, but have to imagine that wasn't what was supposed to happen.
Cardinals didn't have DeAndre Hopkins when the #Seahawks beat them a few weeks ago. They do today, and Kyler Murray just found him on a 22-yard TD pass. Cardinals 7, Seahawks 3.
Arizona didn't score an offensive TD last time these two teams plays. Now, they go 83 yards in 9 plays to score a TD on first possession.
.@DeAndreHopkins has a touchdown in back-to-back weeks! 🙏

Pretty much Arizona's best play — have everything break down and then Murray takes off. Murray gains 21 on a third down to take it to the 43.
Third down pass to Eskridge broken up and Seattle will settle for a field goal attempt. Which is good. Myers hits it from 49 and Seattle has 3-0 lead at 10:50 of first quarter. https://t.co/l9Iy19rPQe
Geno Smith 3-3 for 28 as Seattle already in field goal range at the 35.
Third and 10? So what? Smith hits Noah Fant to the 49…
Gabe Jackson indeed starting at right guard. Seattle in two TEs on first play.
Arizona wins toss and defers. Seahawks will get ball first.

RB James Conner active for Arizona today. With Conner healthy and DeAndre Hopkins back, Arizona offense will be more of a test for Seahawks today.

Seattle’s six inactive players for Sunday’s game at Arizona included two players who had already been ruled out due to injury — receiver Marquise Goodwin and linebacker Darrell Taylor, each sidelined with groin injuries.
Seattle’s other four inactive players to get down to the gameday max of 48 are running back Tony Jones Jr., safety Joey Blount, offensive tackle Jake Curhan and defensive tackle Myles Adams.
Blount had been listed as questionable with a quad injury, while Jones, Curhan and Adams were all healthy scratches.
When they meet Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, the Seahawks and Cardinals won’t be exactly the same teams they were Oct. 16 when they played in Seattle.
In the first meeting the Cardinals didn’t have receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who was finishing up a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
And Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had yet to start a game.
Hopkins is back, again serving as the leading target for quarterback Kyler Murray.
Walker has given the Seahawks the same dynamic running attack it had with Rashaad Penny, helping key a three-game winning streak that has them atop the NFC West at 5-3.
That winning streak began with a 19-9 win over Arizona. That Cardinals loss is one of three in their past four games, putting them close to must-win mode at 3-5.
Will the teams continue to head in opposite directions Sunday?
Let’s take a closer look with our weekly keys to the game and prediction.

RENTON — So what to make of the Seattle Seahawks at almost the halfway point of the 2022 season?
That was a question put to former Seahawk Richard Sherman earlier this week during a conference call to promote Sherman appearing on Amazon Prime’s broadcast of Thursday Night Football.
“Obviously they were running a different (defensive) scheme, while they are running a different scheme now,” Sherman said. “They’re getting back to the basics now.”
And that, Sherman said, has been one of the keys to the Seahawks winning three straight games to get to 5-3 and a game ahead of the rest of the NFC West heading into a game Sunday at Arizona against the Cardinals.
The Seahawks entered the first game against Arizona at 2-3, coming off a 39-32 loss at New Orleans, seemingly on the way to a lost season.
But the Seahawks reversed course on defense — got back to basics, as Sherman said — reverting to a scheme in which the players were given freedom to shoot gaps when they saw fit instead of reading and reacting.

If you’re sick of those sappy yet iconic Lexus holiday ads with the big red bows, here’s a good-natured parody from rival BMW of America that takes the trope in an unexpected direction.
Goodby Silverstein & Partners and RSA director Jonny Mass created a spoof set at a family gathering. Pop-Pop’s plenty stoked to see the whole gang together again. But his seasonal joy shifts into overdrive thanks to the random trajectory of a dislodged house decoration:

Ha ha! Gramps will be miffed when he learns that snazzy BMW isn’t a gift, just the resting place for a red bow blown down by the wind. Ah well, a tie is nice, too. Maybe someone brought a fruit cake.
“The holidays are a fun time of year, so we wanted to have a little fun with our annual ‘Road Home’ sales spot this by celebrating the spirit of the season with a lighthearted interpretation of the typical holiday car commercial,” says BMW VP of marketing Marcus Casey.
Of course, the Lexus “December to Remember” bow has been lampooned before. This SNL skit is pretty amusing. BMW’s spot is subtler, befitting an actual ad, and it scores by invoking a beloved/despised meme without seeming snarky. (Well, maybe a little.)
“The cast took the awkward moment scene to so many places with ad libs that had the crew in stitches,” recalls GS&P ACD Clemens Zlami. “The only bad actor was the bow, to be honest. It was surprisingly difficult to have the bow land on the correct spot. However, when the shoot was over, everyone wanted to take the bow—and the cars—home!”
The BMW commercial broke last week and will run on TV and online, notably during Fox’s World Cup coverage. Muse reached out to Lexus, where a rep took the high road and politely declined to comment.
