Sam Darnold, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, has thrown 7 passing touchdowns through five 2026 regular-season games alongside 7 interceptions and a 60.4% completion rate for 1,033 yards. Recent form shows inconsistency, including zero touchdowns and two picks in the Week 6 overtime loss to Denver plus one touchdown and two turnovers against San Francisco, following stronger earlier outputs like four scores at Washington. The Seahawks, now 3-3 after back-to-back defeats, have confirmed Darnold remains the starter despite the turnover issues and his recovery from a glute strain, with coach Mike Macdonald expressing continued confidence. Upcoming matchups include a primetime contest against the undefeated Chiefs, which could further test his efficiency and influence season-long touchdown totals amid a competitive NFC West.
