In the biggest game of his career, Sam Darnold delivered his finest performance.
Darnold threw for 346 yards and three touchdown passes and played turnover-free ball in Seattle’s 31-27 win over the Rams, vaulting the Seahawks into Super Bowl LX on Feb. 9 against the New England Patriots.
“You can’t talk about the game without talking about our quarterback,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said. “I mean he just shut a lot of people up tonight, so I’m really happy for him.”
Whenever an ex-Jet sees success somewhere else, I think there is an obvious explanation why we didn’t see that success earlier…
Yeah, but the difference is that he sucked on multiple teams.
His time with the Panthers was just another Jets situation. Remember, they had no idea how to win with Mayfield, then he immediately goes to the Rams and turns heads in a single game at the end of the season.
It often takes a few wash cycles to get the Jets smell to go away.
