Vice president of instant replay Mark Butterworth provided an explanation on the final fourth down on which Cooper Kupp was ruled short of a first down.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold met with the media and took ownership of the turnovers and missed opportunities that stalled Seattle's offense. He detailed the decisions he'd like back — including the throw intended for tight end Elijah Arroyo — credited the opposing defense's rush and coverage, and praised teammates for having his back. With a short week and a tough road game ahead, Darnold said the group's focus is translating practice to Sundays with urgency and being ready Thursday.

Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba met with the media following a Seahawks loss he said the offense let slip away. He took personal accountability for the late-game incompletion that could have won the game, described a locker room that was "pissed," and said the offense let down a defense and special teams group that deserved better. He pointed to turnovers and slow starts as the recurring issues, while expressing confidence in a tight-knit team that is in year two of the system and still improving.

Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp met with the media to break down the offense's struggles, addressing the overturned fourth-down spot, the turnovers and the negative plays that repeatedly put the unit behind schedule. He voiced unwavering belief in quarterback Sam Darnold, described the frustration of letting down a defense that was playing well, and rejected any suggestion of finger-pointing in the locker room. Kupp said the group's practice energy has been right and welcomed the quick turnaround to a Thursday game as a chance to clean up ball security and avoid repeating mistakes.

Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV met with the media to discuss the team's response to a tough loss that dropped them to 3-2. He pointed to red-zone execution and defensive stops as the difference, saying only "little things" separate Seattle from the 5-0 team it just faced. Jones also addressed showing restraint after a hit on his quarterback, praised cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett's playmaking, and shared the encouragement he gave cornerback Josh Jobe ahead of a short week leading into Thursday night.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald met with the media following the Seahawks' loss to San Francisco, opening with injury updates before stressing that his team plays hard and stays connected but isn't yet playing the complementary, ball-secure football it wants. He backed quarterback Sam Darnold, defended his aggressive approach before halftime and his decision to stick with running back George Holani despite fumbles, and praised defensive performances from Byron Murphy II, Ty Okada and Nehemiah Pritchett. Macdonald closed by describing a tough, capable locker room with a long list of fixes and only four days until the next game.
