Darnold is 1-3 as a starter since returning from his opening day glute injury...

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Darnold's 7 INTs in 4 games with only 7 TDs is unsustainable; two picks in OT loss were game-deciding.

Darnold is 1-3 as a starter since returning from his opening day glute injury, with seven interceptions in four games against only seven touchdowns; his two interceptions in Seattle's 17-14 overtime loss to Denver were game-damaging—the first in field goal range, the second leading to Denver's game-winning drive. Head coach Mike Macdonald stated the performance 'wasn't good enough to win the game' and emphasized the need to 'take care of the ball,' signaling serious concern about turnover rate and decision-making.
