From the article

Darnold was often under fire and consequently inaccurate, completing just half of his 34 passes for 188 yards, two TDs and another pick (his ninth in seven 2026 starts). Darnold doesn't need to be Seattle's leading man most weeks, but he's got to be more than a small-time character actor.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Darnold 50% completion, 188 yards, 9 INTs in 7 starts; needs to elevate.

The Seahawks QB had an uneven performance behind his new-look offensive line, completing just 50% of his 34 passes for 188 yards, two TDs, and an interception (his ninth in seven 2026 starts). Darnold's inaccuracy under pressure reflects his notably uneven career trajectory and suggests he needs to perform at a higher level to be Seattle's leading man.
