What happened

X.Smith's muffed punt at the LA 18 handed Seattle a short field nobody could afford, and S.Darnold spent the rest of the night carving up the secondary — J.Smith-Njigba alone went for a 42-yard catch and a touchdown that the defense never really answered. M.Stafford did his part again, scrambling and finding C.Parkinson late, which is somehow the worst part: another wasted year of him while the special teams and coverage units torch winnable games.
