The Seahawks are struggling with turnovers as they try to defend their title

The Seattle Seahawks are encountering difficulties with turnovers as they strive to retain their championship. Quarterback Sam Darnold has thrown two interceptions and lost two fumbles, including one in the end zone, during their 32-29 defeat to the 49ers on Sunday. The Seahawks have suffered four fumble losses this season, with nine total turnovers placing them fourth in the NFL.

Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the need for collective improvement, stating that it's not solely Sam's fault. Darnold completed 18 of 29 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown but was sacked five times. The two lost fumbles on Sunday resulted in touchdowns for the 49ers. Both fumbles led to San Francisco scoring in the second quarter and the first half.

The defending Super Bowl champions face a challenging task in addressing these issues before their Thursday night game against the Denver Broncos.
