Writing for The Arizona Republic, Bill Speros notes that Jim Harbaugh’s squad has lost their opening games by scores of 26-14, 26-14, and 24-16, leaving the team at 0-3 both straight up and against the spread. Jeremy Cluff adds that Seattle’s defense figures to cause major problems for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert at Lumen Field.

Seahawks Look to Bounce Back From Washington Loss

Seattle returns home following a narrow 33-31 defeat against Washington that snapped a 12-game winning streak. During that contest, quarterback Sam Darnold returned to action and threw two interceptions. Speros notes that analysts expect a rebound from Darnold against the struggling Chargers defense, with Seattle’s formidable defensive unit expected to dictate the tempo and cover the 7-point spread at home.
