Sam Darnold led the Seattle Seahawks to Super Bowl LX, overcoming an oblique injury with a stellar NFC Championship performance. He completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers in the 31-27 win over the Rams, his most passing yards in 19 starts. Coach Macdonald praised his ability to "shut a lot of people up" regarding his big-game performance.
