"Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who had played at a near-MVP level this season for the most part, did absolutely nothing to help his team and plenty to hurt them. Darnold matched his career high with four interceptions, completing 29 of 44 passes for 279 yards, no touchdowns, those picks, and a passer rating of 45.5. The last time Darnold faced the Rams it was when he was with the Minnesota Vikings in last season's playoffs, and he endured a 60-minute nightmare."
"In the Minnesota Vikings' 27-9 loss, Darnold was sacked nine times, pressured an incomprehensible 25 times, and completed 25 of 40 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a passer rating of 77.6. On Sunday, it wasn't necessarily pressure that doomed Darnold as much as it was the Rams dropping into coverage. The last time Darnold threw four picks in a game was in October 2019."
Los Angeles Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-19 in a defensive battle. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold threw four interceptions, completing 29 of 44 passes for 279 yards, no touchdowns, and a 45.5 passer rating. Los Angeles' defense rarely blitzed, instead dropping six to seven defenders into coverage to confuse reads and force turnovers. Seattle's defense still limited Matthew Stafford to 15 completions on 28 attempts for 130 yards and a passer rating of 89 with two touchdowns. Darnold was not sacked but previously endured heavy pressure and nine sacks in a prior meeting with the Rams while with the Vikings.
