Turnovers Prove Decisive
Two interceptions and two lost fumbles by the backfield handed the 49ers short fields and snapped Seattle's nine-game home winning streak. The team now sits two games behind San Francisco in the NFC West standings. Through five games the Seahawks have turned the ball over nine times, tied for fifth most in the league.
Quarterback and Running Game Struggle
Darnold completed 18 of 29 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown while absorbing five sacks. He threw both interceptions, one on the opening drive and another in the third quarter. The running backs combined for 68 yards on 24 carries, with neither gaining more than nine yards on any attempt. The absences of key contributors have left the group without its usual explosiveness and ball security.
Team Seeks Improvement
Seattle's offense has now produced seven turnovers across its two losses. Special teams and defense created two takeaways and limited the 49ers to points only off turnovers for most of the game. The club must reduce giveaways and penalties to play cleaner football moving forward.
