Seahawks lose to Broncos after Darnold’s late interceptions
The Seattle Seahawks lost 17-14 to the Denver Broncos in overtime on Thursday, October 15, after quarterback Sam Darnold threw two late interceptions. His interception on Seattle’s first overtime possession set up Denver’s winning field goal, extending the Seahawks’ losing streak to two games and leaving them 3-3 after six games. Seattle had trailed 14-3 in the fourth quarter when Darnold led a drive that brought the Seahawks within three points. With 91 seconds remaining, he threw an interception, but Seattle’s defense forced a quick Denver punt. Darnold then guided the Seahawks into position for Jason Myers to kick a 34-yard field goal and tie the game at 14. Seattle received the ball first in overtime. Darnold’s pass intended for Rashid Shaheed was intercepted by JaQuan McMillian, giving Denver possession in Seahawks territory. Will Lutz kicked a 53-yard field goal three plays later to secure the win. After the game, Darnold took responsibility for the turnovers, calling them “B.S.” and saying they were unfair to his teammates. He said he needed to improve at protecting the ball. Darnold has thrown seven interceptions this season, including two in each of Seattle’s losses...
