Darnold 3/8, 29 yards, 2 sacks vs. third-down blitzes from 11 personnel

Sam Darnold has struggled significantly when facing third-down blitzes from 11 personnel; the source reports he is 3/8 for 29 yards and 2 sacks (1 injurious) with only 1 successful third-down conversion in these situations this season. The Seahawks' personnel shift from heavy packages on early downs to 11 personnel on third down removes play-action and extra protection, leaving Darnold exposed to the league's highest third-down blitz rate (nearly 60% of dropbacks).
