Darnold's 51 attempts, 52.6 rating, and two INCs highlight Seattle's offensive collapse

Darnold's turnover issues are escalating into a critical problem for Seattle. Over six games, he has thrown seven interceptions (tied for league lead), with three multi-interception outings in 2025 matching his entire 2024 total. On Thursday, he threw a career-high 51 times for 278 yards with a 52.6 rating, including two costly interceptions: one with 1:31 remaining in regulation with a chance for a go-ahead score, and the game-killer in overtime when he threw an atrocious pass jumped by Ja'Quan McMillian. All of his picks this season have come in one-score games. The source emphasizes that despite his Pro Bowl 2024 season and Super Bowl win, his 2025 performance cannot be overlooked, and Seattle's offensive line and Darnold's play must both improve for the team to duplicate last year's success.
