Sam Darnold Retains Seahawks Starting Job Despite Mounting Interceptions

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed quarterback Sam Darnold remains "part of the solution" and will continue starting despite throwing an NFL-high seven interceptions through five games. Darnold completed 52.9% of passes with two picks during a 17-14 overtime loss to Denver. While backup Drew Lock posted four touchdowns and zero picks in relief earlier this year, leadership maintains full trust in Darnold heading into a Week 7 matchup with Kansas City.
