GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Sam Darnold is playing like a franchise quarterback. And Jaxon Smith-Njigba is playing like one of the best receivers in football.

The Seahawks shouldn't have needed the late heroics. They led 14-3 at halftime despite shooting themselves in the foot three times, with Coby Bryant fumbling away an interception, fellow safety Julian Love dropping an easy pick and running back Kenneth Walker III taking them out of field-goal range with a taunting penalty.
