It’s fitting that Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should get to play in the Super Bowl against the team that made him utter the infamous seeing ghosts line in 2019.
Darnold doesn’t need to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LX to prove the doubters wrong because he’s already done that by getting this far. Winning it all would just be icing on the cake after so many pundits spoke and wrote with conviction about Darnold not being good enough to guide a team to the big game. Darnold flamed out as the Jets’ 2018 No. 3 pick and struggled in two seasons with the Panthers. He had success in his lone season with the Vikings in 2024, but the “seeing ghosts” jokes returned after a disastrous wild-card loss to the Rams.
