Sam Darnold’s struggles at quarterback are casting shadows over the Seattle Seahawks’ offense as turnovers and inefficiency in the passing game threaten to derail their playoff ambitions. With five interceptions in his last three games and the running game failing to ignite, pressure mounts for solutions—will Drew Lock get his shot if things don’t turn around? Seattle’s offensive woes extend to Rashid Shaheed, whose lack of production stands in stark contrast to expectations after his offseason contract and hard work. Despite explosive potential, Shaheed is pacing for just 452 total yards, calling into question the play-calling of new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury and the effectiveness of Darnold’s short passes. As the defense keeps opponents out of the red zone but struggles inside the 20, Seahawks fans are left wondering if changes to the receiving corps—with options like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and even Tory Horton—could jump-start a run back to the Super Bowl. Will offensive adjustments and more creative touches propel Seattle to victory over the Denver Broncos, or is a shakeup inevitable before the season slips away?
