Overview
- Sam Darnold threw four interceptions in a 21-19 defeat to the Rams, with the giveaways contributing to 14 Los Angeles points.
- Despite the turnovers, Darnold led an 84-yard touchdown drive and then moved Seattle from its own 1 to set up a 61-yard try that Jason Myers missed as time expired.
- Linebacker Ernest Jones IV delivered an explicit defense of Darnold at the podium, and head coach Mike Macdonald told his quarterback to keep throwing, saying the team loves him and has his back.
- Darnold acknowledged he must protect the ball and said he will watch the film and learn, as his otherwise strong season now includes interceptions in four straight games.
- The loss dropped Seattle to 7-3 behind the 8-2 Rams; the Seahawks’ defense held Los Angeles to 249 yards, and Seattle next visits the one-win Titans before a Week 16 rematch with L.A.
