Turnovers and protection remain concerns despite Week 7 bounce-back

Seattle is 4–3 after a 20–3 win over Kansas City, following consecutive losses marked by turnovers and protection problems. The earlier season totals—12 turnovers, seven Darnold interceptions, and 16 sacks allowed—remain important context, but the Chiefs win offered a strong response. No change to Darnold’s starting role has been announced.
