Seahawks’ Zach Charbonnet makes up for Sam Darnold miss with 27-yard rushing TD

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has not completely turned the corner since his heroic comeback effort against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, so other players must step up on offense in Saturday’s huge tilt versus the San Francisco 49ers. Zach Charbonnet is answering the call under the bright lights of Levi’s Stadium.

Darnold stunningly did not throw the ball to the wide-open running back on first-and-goal and instead incurred an 11-yard sack during the game’s opening drive. The Seahawks went for it on fourth down and brutally came away with zero points. They bounced back nicely on their next possession, however, courtesy of Charbonnet. The 2023 second-round draft pick darted to the end zone on a 27-yard touchdown, lifting his QB and squad up after the earlier blunders.
