Sam Darnold takes responsibility for Seahawks' loss at Denver: 'It’s BS for me to keep turning the ball over'

Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold openly admitted his role in the 17-14 overtime defeat to Denver, saying he was tired of repeatedly giving the ball away. He threw two interceptions in the closing minutes, one in regulation that set up Denver’s final field goal and another in overtime that sealed the loss.

Darnold blamed his own greed for the second pick, noting he should have hit wide receiver Cooper Kupp on a short route. Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the need for ball security, reminding the team that Darnold’s turnovers were a key factor.

Denver defensive backs Kris Abrams‑Draine and Ja’Quan McMillian each made the crucial interceptions, while the Broncos’ defense recorded 17 quarterback hits and five sacks on Seattle.

The Seahawks’ defense limited Denver to 38 yards after halftime and special teams contributed a long punt return that led to a tying field goal. Seattle now sits at 3-3, having lost three close games, with Darnold’s turnover problem highlighted as a major concern.
