The Seattle Seahawks are putting their faith in quarterback Sam Darnold to bounce back from a disappointing performance against the Los Angeles Rams, where he threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss. Darnold's teammates, including linebacker Ernest Jones IV, have rallied around him, emphasizing that one game does not define his season. Despite the setbacks, Darnold showed resilience, driving the Seahawks into field-goal range in the final two minutes, but ultimately falling short. The Seahawks face a struggling Tennessee Titans team that has lost five consecutive games since a Week 5 victory over Arizona. The Titans, who are on the cusp of a fourth consecutive losing season, are reeling from a 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans last weekend. The team is dealing with a depleted wide receiver corps due to injuries, with rookie quarterback Cam Ward facing a tough challenge in leading the team to a win. In an effort to take pressure off Darnold, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald plans to give running back Kenneth Walker III more opportunities, particularly against a Titans team that struggles to stop the run. Walker has shown consistency and explosiveness, and the Seahawks believe he can make a significant impact in the game. The Titans, meanwhile, will be without several key players, including safeties Kendall Brooks and Xavier Woods, and will have to rely on their rookie receivers to make plays.
