Seattle dropped to 4-4 after a 34-17 home loss Monday night, with national analysts casting the Seahawks’ offense as the clear reason the game slipped away.
Sam Darnold completed 50% of his passes and threw a fourth-quarter interception, while Seattle managed just 81 rushing yards — its second-lowest total of the season.
ESPN said the Seahawks failed to play complementary football, arguing the defense kept them afloat for stretches before wearing down as the offense repeatedly went three-and-out.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba was described as virtually the entire passing attack, accounting for 92 of Seattle’s 94 first-half passing yards.
CBS Sports gave Seattle a C- and warned the offense could derail both a playoff push and any repeat-title hopes if the Seahawks do not improve quickly.
