Field Gulls on Sam Darnold

Darnold faces protection issues and turnover risk against Denver's capable defense.

The offensive line has had trouble protecting Sam Darnold and creating running lanes, leaving the quarterback in increasingly difficult situations. Darnold has also alternated between passing up opportunities and forcing reads that lead to costly mistakes. Against San Francisco, Seattle turned the ball over four times, including two interceptions and two lost fumbles. On the road against a capable defense, another turnover-heavy performance could be decisive.
