Sam Darnold takes responsibility for Seahawks' loss at Denver: 'It's BS for me to keep turning the ball over'
Key Points:
- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold took full responsibility for two late interceptions in a 17-14 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos, acknowledging his turnovers were unfair to the team.
- Despite strong defensive and special teams efforts, the Seahawks have struggled with offensive issues, including excessive quarterback pressure, lack of a consistent run game, and over-reliance on star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
- Darnold's turnover problems persist this season with seven interceptions in just four full games, continuing a trend from last season's regular season where he led the league in fumbles and interceptions.
- The Seahawks have matched last season's total losses (three) midway through the 2026 season, facing challenges due to injuries and departures in the running back position, which have impacted offensive efficiency.
- Head coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the need for improved ball protection and offensive cohesion, noting that while the team has been competitive, Darnold's turnovers remain a critical issue to address.
