The Seattle Seahawks defeated Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers 27-10 on the road Sunday to secure their sixth straight win of the season despite a weak showing from Sam Darnold.

Despite the win against his former team, which he played for during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, fans raised concerns about Darnold's play heading into the postseason following a shaky performance against Carolina.

The Seahawks' inability to put away the Panthers raised concerns, as Young struggled mightily, throwing for just 54 yards without a passing touchdown while adding one interception and a rushing score.

The Seahawks outgained Carolina 19-10 in first downs and limited the Panthers to 1-of-11 on third downs, holding them to just 139 total yards of offense. 

Seattle's defense was strong throughout the game, but the Darnold–led offense remains a potential issue in games like Sunday's moving forward.

The Seahawks improved to 12-3 and entered Sunday's matchup having already clinched a playoff spot. The Seahawks will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18 with the NFC South title on the line.
