Seahawks' 3-2 Start Masked by Turnover Crisis and Shrunken Margin for Error

The Seattle Seahawks dropped to 3-2 after a 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, mirroring their record from this point last season. However, the 2026 team faces distinct challenges, primarily a surge in turnovers and a weakened running game. While the defense performed well, limiting San Francisco to 269 yards, the offense committed four giveaways, resulting in 21 points for the 49ers. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions, and running backs lost four fumbles this season, a stark contrast to the stability of the previous year. The Seahawks now trail the 49ers by two games in the NFC West and face a critical test against the Denver Broncos.
