"Darnold could have been talking about any number of Seahawks wins over the last month and a half, as this marked the sixth time in the last seven games in which Seattle's sixth-ranked scoring offense has failed to top nine points in the first half. Combine that with two more turnovers by Darnold against Carolina, and the Seahawks have some serious issues on offense they'll have to fix if they want to realize their Super Bowl potential."
"Because despite their penchant for slow starts and giveaways, they still might be the best team in the NFL. Their 13 wins are tied with the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots for most in the league. They lead the NFC West and currently hold the No. 1 seed in the conference, with both on the line Saturday night when they close out the regular season against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC)."
Seattle's offense has begun slowly in recent games, failing to reach nine first-half points in six of seven. Two turnovers by the quarterback against Carolina added to ball-security concerns, contributing to a 27-10 win that relied on defense and special teams. The team has 13 wins, tied for most in the NFL, and leads the NFC West while holding the No. 1 seed. Many recent victories have come against teams without elite quarterbacks. The upcoming regular-season finale at San Francisco will test whether offensive inconsistencies and turnovers can be resolved before the playoffs.
