The Seahawks committed four turnovers and several costly penalties, but still scored 27 points against the league’s top scoring defense in Monday night’s win.

The good news is, the Seahawks know that they can play at a far higher level on offense. Darnold specifically brought up their Week 5 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when they scored touchdowns on five-straight drives - four of them on passes from Darnold - in a losing effort.

Darnold and the offense actually got off to a hot start with two quick touchdowns in the first quarter that helped Seattle jump out to a 14-0 lead. From there, the Seahawks just held on for dear life. This game probably would have turned into a blowout win for the Seahawks if not for their four turnovers, which kept Houston in it.
