Seahawks’ Gamble on Sam Darnold: Is This the Make-or-Break Moment for Their Franchise?

Make no mistake, there’s also plenty of good behind Darnold’s big season. He ranked fifth in the league is both passing yards (4,319) passing yards and touchdown passes (35), and sixth in passer rating (102.5). He was also seventh among QBs in total EVE.

However, his final two games put a damper on the Vikings’ 14-2 start to the season. With the NFC No. 1 seed at stake against Detroit in the final week of the regular season, he was 18 of 41 for 166 yards as the Vikings managed only field goals in a 31-9 loss. The next weekend, Darnold was sacked nine times and committed two turnovers as the Vikings were bounced by the Los Angeles Rams 27-9 in the wild-card round.
