Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold dropped back to pass 26 times in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he used play-action just two times. That’s a 7.7 percent play-action rate, which was the lowest among all 33 NFL quarterbacks in Week 1. The two times Darnold used play-action, he hit WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 21-yard completion, and he had a 5-yard scramble which led to a first down.
