Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold met with the media following the Seahawks' loss to Denver and took full ownership of the defeat, saying there was "no way to sugarcoat it" and that the offense can't turn the ball over (0:01). He broke down both of his interceptions, credited Denver's pass rush, and said the turnovers weren't fair to a defense and special teams unit that are playing well. At 3-3, Darnold said "there's a lot of football left" and that he has to be better, including getting the ball out faster to cut down on sacks.

Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams spoke after another narrow Seahawks loss, saying the team put itself in position to win and simply has to finish (0:04, 0:23). He addressed the frustration of three losses by a combined eight points, the defense's second-half turnaround, and where Seattle stands at 3-3 (0:55, 1:23, 1:52).

Macdonald also provided an injury update on tight end Elijah Arroyo and said the extra days before the team returns Monday will be valuable for finding solutions in the film and analytics.

Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp defended quarterback Sam Darnold and said the entire offense shares responsibility for the turnovers and self-inflicted mistakes. Kupp said he'd need to review the tape on the final play, praised the locker room's preparation and attitude, and stressed that the team must chase the "razor-thin margins" to close out tight games. He also credited Darnold's second-half play, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's big plays, and offensive coordinator Brian Fleury's tempo calls.
