Darnold shredding blitz looks; Seahawks rank 3rd in EPA/pass vs. blitz

Sam Darnold has shredded opposing blitzes through three games, combining with Drew Lock on 30/41 for 382 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, and only two sacks taken against blitz looks from under center, shotgun, and pistol. In his one game against the Washington Commanders, Darnold did not attempt a single non-play-action under-center pass, reflecting the Seahawks' heavy reliance on play-action from under center.
