Sam Darnold Nears Historic 13-Win Seasons, Eyes Massive Payday

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is on the verge of an unprecedented NFL feat, potentially becoming the first quarterback to lead two different teams to 13 wins in consecutive seasons. After a 14-3 record with the Vikings last year, he has led the Seahawks to a 12-3 record this season, needing just one more win. This achievement would place him among elite company like Rodgers and Brady. Darnold, recognized as a top free-agent addition for 2025, also has significant contract incentives on the line, nearing a massive payday.
