He had a critical miscue on the late pick-six that gave the Commanders the cushion they needed. Darnold took blame for the play, saying he saw linebacker Kain Medrano and should have just thrown the ball into the grass.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Darnold's late pick-six mirrors past season struggles despite strong yardage.

Darnold threw a critical pick-six late in the game that gave the Commanders the cushion they needed; he acknowledged the miscue, saying he saw linebacker Kain Medrano and should have thrown the ball away. His other interception was a pass deflected at the line of scrimmage, but the pick-six was an unfortunate reminder of what ailed the Seahawks in their three losses last season.
