"It's a little bit late in the year right now to be saying that," Mike Macdonald said, "so I think we've got to pick it up on all fronts."

Seattle Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald praises Byron Murphy II for his Week 15 showing versus the Indianapolis Colts.

Seahawks have scored 6 points in the first half on offense in each of the last 3 games. That’s not going to cut it. Sam Darnold is the reason nobody takes the Seahawks seriously in the playoffs. This offense is one guy. They don’t scare anybody.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald would prefer not to have to rely on Jason Myers quite so much. Myers scored all of Seattle’s points on Sunday, kicking a franchise-record six field goals in an 18-16 win over Philp Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts.

Seattle residents planning to attend the Seahawks-Colts game should prepare for a cloudy Sunday with morning showers and continued flood concerns as a warning remains in effect, according to AccuWeather.

In Week 1, the Seahawks lost 17-13 to the 49ers, and in that game, both Darnold and Jaxson Smith-Njigba fumbled the ball away in the fourth quarter. In Week 5, the Seahawks lost 38-35 because their defense couldn't stop Baker Mayfield, who threw for 379 yards. In Week 11, the Seahawks lost to the Rams because Darnold threw four interceptions.

Sunday was his first time being active since entering the NFL, just six days shy of a complete calendar year since sustaining the injury. He got to take the field for an elite defense, alongside all-pro caliber linemates like Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy, for a team that is in a fight for the top seed in the NFC.
