From the article

Darnold took five sacks (most since joining the Seahawks) and threw two interceptions in last week's loss to the Niners; Seattle has eight giveaways in its last three games, with Darnold accounting for five of them since his return from injury; He has the same number of interceptions and touchdown passes (three) in the last two weeks, with the seventh-lowest passer rating among qualified QBs during that period

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Darnold's turnover issues (5 giveaways in 3 games) create matchup risk against Denver's takeaway-focused defense.

Darnold took five sacks (most since joining the Seahawks) and threw two interceptions against the 49ers last week, continuing a turnover pattern where he has accounted for five giveaways in Seattle's last three games. He has the same number of interceptions and touchdown passes (three each) in the last two weeks with the seventh-lowest passer rating among qualified QBs during that period. Against Denver's defense tied for sixth-most interceptions (five through Week 5), Darnold's sloppiness presents significant risk.
