Overview
- The Seahawks fell 32-29 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after four offensive turnovers produced 21 points for San Francisco.
- Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions in the game and has five interceptions in three starts since returning from a glute injury.
- Seattle allowed five sacks and showed a 45.7% pressure rate that helped force hurried throws and turnovers, and the running game produced just 89 yards on 3.4 yards per carry.
- Coach Mike Macdonald and teammates emphasized collective responsibility for the breakdowns rather than blaming Darnold alone, with left guard Grey Zabel specifically taking accountability for protection failures.
- The team faces a compressed schedule with Dre Greenlaw suspended one game, several players limited by injury and Zach Charbonnet unlikely to play on Thursday, which narrows Seattle’s margin for correcting fundamentals before the trip to Denver.
