One of the biggest questions heading into the NFL playoffs set to kick off this weekend is Sam Darnold: Can he take the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl, or will he wilt under the pressure in the same fashion he wilted last year with the Minnesota Vikings?
Darnold's track record is a legitimate reason to argue for him falling down. Then again, this season, generally speaking, Darnold has played the best football of his life, and perhaps that's saying something. There's no doubt that the Seahawks are one of, if not the, most complete teams in the league, and that's why — not because of Darnold alone — they should be Super Bowl favourites.
