Sam Darnold described his second-half interceptions as B.S. after they doomed the Seattle Seahawks to a second successive defeat with a 17-14 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks trailed 14-3 in fourth quarter before Darnold led an 11-play drive that trimmed the deficit to 14-11, only to then spurn a chance to tie with his first interception with 91 seconds left in the game.He made amends by leading a field-goal drive to force overtime after Denver subsequently went three-and-out in just 28 seconds, Jason Myers 34-yard kick sending the game to an extra period.Seattle got the ball to start overtime, but Darnold was picked off by JaQuan McMillian to set Denver up in Seahawks territory, allowing Will Lutz to kick a game-winning 53-yard field goal.The Broncos improved to 4-2 while the Seahawks dropped to 3-3. Seattle could end Week 6 three games behind the San Francisco 49ers (5-0) in the NFC West. The 49ers host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.Darnold, who also threw two picks in a loss to the 49ers last week, now has seven interceptions on the year having thrown 14 as the Seahawks won their second Super Bowl title last season.And Darnold was scathing in his assessment of his mistakes.No way to sugarcoat it, Darnold said. That one sucked. Cant turn the ball over. Thats obviously at the forefront of my mind, but theres just a lot that we can do better.I just think its B.S for me to keep turning the ball over. Its not fair to our defense, its not fair to our special teams group, not fair really to the entire team. So Ive got to be better that way.Dropping back and taking what they [the Denver defense] give me, I felt like I did a pretty good job of that in the first half.And then late in the second half, those two plays, just cant have it.Denver prevailed despite another underwhelming showing from Broncos quarterback Bo Nix.Nix threw for 107 yards on 27 attempts, averaging under four yards per pass, with the downfield element of Denvers passing game still conspicuous by its absence.Even amid the win, Nix conceded to dissatisfaction with the performance of the passing attack. I dont know why we cant really push the ball vertically right now, Nix said. But defenses are just sitting back and hanging out. Hopefully we find a way to get more out of it.Were definitely capable, weve shown it. And, you know I dont know where the disconnect is right now, to be honest with you. I just think were really, for some reason, struggling to find those explosive plays, and thats what makes an offense really spectacular: Is finding explosive plays. And right now, we dont have those.The Broncos will hope a matchup with a porous Arizona Cardinals defense helps them find their explosive plays in Week 7, when the Seahawks face a daunting matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
