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.”
I’m gonna say that he’s actually pretty good. He does the easy stuff perfectly pretty much every time. He does the hard stuff perfectly most of the time. He does the impossible stuff sometimes.
His problem is that he can get rattled. Especially when facing sustained pressure. Our O-line has been good enough to mostly avoid that.
