Darnold's Super Bowl Success Sparks Jefferson's Vikings Regret

Sam Darnold has led the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl, prompting Vikings star Justin Jefferson to reflect on Minnesota's 2025 season, stating they 'would have done better' had Darnold remained. Darnold's 2025 Seahawks campaign saw him throw for 4,048 yards, 25 TDs, and 14 INTs, leading to a 14-3 record and a strong postseason performance. This follows his impressive 2024 Vikings season (4,319 yards, 35 TDs, 12 INTs, 102.5 passer rating, 14 wins) which secured his $100.5 million Seahawks contract. Jefferson's own stats were significantly better with Darnold in 2024.
