Sam Darnold says Seattle needs a sense of urgency after a turnover-heavy stretch, and Thursday night in Denver is the next test.
Meeting with reporters on the short week, Darnold stressed being more decisive, getting the ball out faster, and protecting the football. Since his return from a glute injury in Week 3, Brady Henderson noted his average time before throw is 3.25 seconds — the longest among 31 qualifying quarterbacks — after a 2.86-second mark last season.
Against San Francisco in Week 5 he took five sacks and threw two interceptions. Seattle has eight giveaways in its last three games, with Darnold accounting for five of them since he returned. In that same window he has three interceptions and three touchdown passes.
The Seahawks (3-2) visit the Broncos (3-2) at Empower Field at Mile High on Thursday, October 15, at 8:15 p.m. EDT on Prime Video. Denver is without Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga; Seattle ruled out Zach Charbonnet, Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was upgraded to a full participant Wednesday and carries no game status.
