In a Seattle Seahawks uniform on Thursday, Sam Darnold did something he was unable to do when he was a member of the Minnesota Vikings last season: conquer the Los Angeles Rams.
Darnold had some moments to forget during Thursday's primetime matchup, but he made the plays when it mattered the most in the game, and it eventually resulted in the Seahawks leaving the field as the No. 1 seed in the NFC after getting a 38-37 overtime win over the Rams.
Any Vikings fans who stayed up late enough to watch Darnold lead Seattle's offense on a nine-play, 65-yard game-winning drive probably spent at least half a second wondering how Minnesota's 2025 season would be going right now if he were still starting under center for the purple and gold.
