From the article

Sam Darnold has a turnover problem, and the Seahawks rely too heavily on Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Both are issues that can be fixed over time, especially if the offensive line returns to full strength and gets its act together (it was quite bad against the Broncos). The offense needs to stop cutting corners in its approach, though, or Darnold will continue to struggle and leave game outcomes almost entirely on the defense's plate.

Darnold's 7 INTs in 4 games puts defensive burden on Seattle's shoulders.

The Seahawks rely too heavily on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Darnold's turnover problem leaves game outcomes almost entirely on the defense's plate; he has thrown seven picks in four games since returning from a glute injury.
