From the article

Darnold finished 18 of 29 for 195 yards and threw a 16-yard touchdown that was more a display of Jaxon Smith-Njigba's special skills. But the two interceptions stick out because of all the other issues that emerged, including a lackluster run game and two fumbles that directly led to 14 points for San Francisco.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Darnold threw two INTs and fumbled twice in loss to 49ers; turnovers led to 14 SF points.

Against the 49ers, Darnold finished 18 of 29 for 195 yards with one 16-yard touchdown (credited largely to Jaxon Smith-Njigba's skill) and two interceptions. The two picks are compounded by a lackluster run game and two fumbles that directly led to 14 points for San Francisco. The source emphasizes that overcoming two fumbles is possible only if the quarterback doesn't also throw two interceptions, making ball security the critical controllable factor.
