Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV met with the media following Seattle's win over the Chargers to address the defense's penalty issues, his first takeaway of the season and the unit's late-game finish. He said the group was frustrated by the flags that extended Chargers drives and plans to fix it through honest conversation and film study, while crediting the pass rush, coverage and a well-timed call from head coach Mike Macdonald for the defense's big moments.

Head coach Mike Macdonald met with the media to reflect on a 3-1 start he called something he's "very grateful" for, while making clear the Seahawks are not yet playing to their own standard. He praised the run game and a defense that stayed together to finish, but drew a hard line on seven personal foul penalties he called "unacceptable on any level," promising to address ball security and discipline over the next 24 to 48 hours. He also offered updates on Sam Darnold's toughness behind too many quarterback hits and availability notes on several players heading into the coming week.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold met with the media to break down a hard-fought win over a really good opponent. He addressed an early interception, the physical hit he absorbed on a slide, the contributions of teammates stepping into bigger roles, and a penalty-filled afternoon. Darnold's message throughout was that the offense has cleanup work to do on tape, but the team's "next man up" resilience is why it keeps producing.

Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu met with media to break down Seattle's win, detailing the game-clinching sack and the pass rush that "came alive." He credited the interior push from DeMarcus Lawrence and Byron Murphy II, praised safety Nick Emmanwori's continued big plays, and relayed head coach Mike Macdonald's message about learning from the penalty-filled stretches. Nwosu stressed that the defense remains connected and that cleaning up self-inflicted penalties on film is the next step.
