STACKED’s take
Darnold's seven interceptions since return create turnover opportunity for Chiefs.
Sam Darnold is highlighted as a concern for the Seahawks offense. Maurice Elston notes the defending Super Bowl champions 'have dropped three of their last four games, with Sam Darnold throwing seven interceptions since returning from injury.' Elston's defensive strategy for Kansas City centers on 'containing Jaxon Smith-Njigba and forcing Darnold to look elsewhere' and suggests 'Giving him extra attention while collapsing the pocket around Darnold could create the turnovers the Chiefs need to swing this game.' Nate Christensen frames the defensive test as whether 'the Chiefs pass rush' can affect Darnold's 'internal clock' similar to how Denver did. The consensus is that Darnold's recent interception issues and vulnerability to pressure are exploitable weaknesses for Kansas City's defense.
