Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Prepares for Rams Rematch Without LT Cross

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is focused on Thursday's critical NFC West game against the Rams, aiming for a stronger performance after throwing four interceptions in their Week 11 loss. He will be without his blind-side protector, LT Charles Cross, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury. Darnold, who is also among 15 NFL players whose 2025 performance bonuses are under review, seeks to avoid a repeat of past late-season struggles.
