Summary

For 59 minutes, Sam Darnold played lights out at quarterback -- up until he drilled a pass into the top of a Bucs helmet and into the intercepting arms of Lavonte David. Up until that point, Darnold had some close calls, but everything had gone the Seahawks way on offense. Defensively, the team was not as lucky. While the 38-35 win was set up from an INT, the previous 35 points were entirely on a sloppy and injury-plagued defensive performance. But they did get one critical stop in the 4th quarter and help the Bucs game in check all day. We talk about where Coach Macdonald may have missed some critical opportunities and how the Seahawks look moving forward after another frustrating home loss.

0:30.1	How are you holding up after this one, bud?
0:32.9	Man, it's interesting because I think throughout the last half of the fourth quarter,
0:38.2	the narrative changed about three or four times in terms of, you know, who's going to be a hero here,
0:43.5	who's going to win and lose, who's, uh, this on. And it's interesting for sure. But I think that
0:49.5	the top of the, the leaderboard here of what the hell happened there is the defense in third down bucks
0:57.6	were seven up for 11 on third down including three third and 10 plus third and 13 third and 14
