Sam Howell

Sam Howell completed 5-of-14 passes for 24 yards and interception in the Seahawks’ 30-13, Week 15 loss to the Packers, adding two yards on his lone carry.

Howell also took four sacks in addition to the interception thrown, which is in line with what we saw from him a season ago while playing for the Commanders. His pocket awareness and ability to diagnose the blitz, pressure, and opposing coverages is simply lacking, which could put the Seahawks in a bind moving forward if Geno Smith can’t make it back in time for the team’s Week 16 matchup against the Vikings. The loss drops the Seahawks out of the playoff picture in the NFC and they have three difficult opponents in the Vikings, Bears, and division rival Rams remaining. It certainly appears to be an uphill battle for the Seahawks to make the postseason after they had rattled of four consecutive wins before this loss.
