Seahawks' Mike Macdonald Sends Clear Message on Sam Darnold After Broncos Loss
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald gave an honest assessment of Sam Darnold's poor performance in an overtime loss to the Broncos.
The Seattle Seahawks suffered a 17-14 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in Thursday Night Football, giving the defending Super Bowl champions a 3-3 record. Head coach Mike Macdonald, after the game, spoke about quarterback Sam Darnold's performance, acknowledging that it wasn't good enough to win the game. Darnold threw for 278 yards, but also had two interceptions and was sacked five times, with his struggles proving costly.
Despite the offense's shortcomings, the Seahawks' defense remains the top in the NFL, allowing only 252.8 yards of offense per game. However, Macdonald may consider benching Darnold in favor of Drew Lock, who has already proven his ability to lead the team to victory.
