Winners and Losers from another Seahawks home loss to 49ers: Sam Darnold is struggling
Another performance by the Seahawks offense that is way worse than the point total suggested.
Winners: The Seattle Seahawks had some standout performances this weekend. Byron Murphy II dominated at the defensive tackle position, forcing sacks and playing at an All-Pro level. Nehemiah Pritchett was another bright spot, making crucial plays on special teams and in the secondary. Ernest Jones IV anchored the defense with outstanding playmaking and tackle numbers. Jason Myers, the team's kicker, had an exceptional outing, connecting on five field goals and additional points.
Losers: The biggest worry heading into the future is Sam Darnold's play as the starting quarterback. Darnold committed two awful interceptions and several puzzling sacks, causing more harm than good. George Holani struggled with fumbles and lackluster rushing performances, and Robert Henry Jr. received an excessive number of carries.
Emanuel Wilson continues to have ball security issues, fumbling twice in the span of a few weeks. Josh Jobe faced a tough assignment against Mike Evans, who proved too large and physical to defend. The offensive line struggled to protect Darnold, leading to numerous pressure points and negative outcomes, including Holani's fumble that led to a touchdown.
