Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald answers if he will make a switch at quarterback

Sam Darnold's struggles are front and center in the NFL limelight.

The Seattle Seahawks are currently 3-3 after two consecutive losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos. Quarterback Sam Darnold has been a major issue in these defeats, particularly with turnovers, especially during Thursday night's overtime loss. Darnold attempted 51 passes, completing only slightly over 50%, and threw two interceptions, both of which were critical blows to Seattle's chances.

This is not the first time Darnold has struggled; he only threw two interceptions in Week 4 against the Chargers and Week 1 when he was injured. With these repeated failures, fans have called for Darnold to be replaced, and Coach Mike Macdonald has affirmed that Darnold is their starting quarterback. While Macdonald acknowledges the possibility of Drew Lock starting, he believes they can address Darnold's issues and make him the starter.
