The Seattle Seahawks did not exactly get off on the right foot in the Sam Darnold era on Sunday, losing to the San Francisco 49ers in an anemic season opener. Darnold went just 16-for-23 with 150 yards as the Seahawks mustered a measly 13 points in the loss,

Sam Darnold finished 16 of 23 for a modest 150 yards in the Seahawks’ 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. But his lone turnover came at the worst time.

Russell and Williams do not have any previous ties to the 49ers, but they have served as captains together in the past. Both players made multiple appearances as captains for Seattle in 2024, with both appearing as captains in last year’s Week 5 matchup vs. the New York Giants.
