Overview
- The Seahawks beat the Panthers 27-10 to move to 13-3, setting up a winner-take-all Week 18 trip to San Francisco for the division crown and No. 1 seed.
- Darnold became the fifth quarterback with consecutive 13-win regular seasons and the first to do it with two different teams after last year’s 14-3 with Minnesota.
- He leads the NFL with 20 turnovers, and Seattle’s 28 team giveaways are second-most, a trend Darnold acknowledged needs correcting.
- Seattle’s defense is allowing the second-fewest points in the league and has repeatedly bailed out slow offensive starts.
- The run game has surged, with Zach Charbonnet rushing for a season-high 110 yards as Seattle totaled 163 yards on the ground in Week 17.
