Sam Darnold Leads Seahawks to Super Bowl LX After Career Revival, Quieting Doubters

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is leading his team to Super Bowl 60 after a significant career revival, quieting his doubters. After revitalizing his play with the Vikings in 2024, the Seahawks traded for Darnold, a gamble that paid off. He threw a decisive 13-yard touchdown to Cooper Kupp in the NFC Championship and played through an oblique injury, but is fully expected to start Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 against the Patriots. Darnold played at an elite level this postseason and had a sterling regular season with career-highs in YPA (8.5) and completion percentage (67.7%), leading the Seahawks to the No. 1 seed.
