Sam Darnold is proving that 2024 was no fluke. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback was terrific for the Minnesota Vikings last year, and he has been quite good for his new team this year. But he likely has never been better than he was in the first half of Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.
Maybe no quarterback ever has been. It would be difficult to argue otherwise.
Darnold didn't throw an incompletion, but he also wasn't simply throwing a bunch of short passes. The Seahawks' QB1 was dropping dimes everywhere. Crossing patterns in rhythm?
