Sam Darnold's career resurgence will now get the proper attention it deserves as the quarterback elevated his Seattle Seahawks over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game to secure a spot in the Super Bowl and the two weeks of hoopla that comes with it. Now everyone can sit back and digest that he could put the cherry on top of back-to-back 14-win seasons in spectacular fashion. And wonder what odds they could have gotten a few years ago on the proposition that he—not Josh Allen nor Baker Mayfield—would be the first QB from the 2018 draft to play in a Super Bowl.
Darnold was sensational in Seattle's hard-earned win on Sunday, completing 25 of his 36 throws for 346 yards and three touchdowns. He also took diligent care of the football and put his defense in the appropriate positions to withstand an incredibly skilled Matthew Stafford & Co.
