"The Seahawks QB has been one of the league's top success stories over the last few years, especially during a playoff run in Seattle where he's thrown for 470 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions over two games. He was stellar in the NFC championship game against the Rams, especially in terms of delivering throws under pressure. When pressured against Los Angeles, Darnold did complete 5-of-11 throws - but for 102 yards and three touchdowns."
"If he can be that sharp against whatever pressure players like Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and K'Lavon Chaisson dial up, then the Patriots are in for a long evening. But as great as he's been during the playoffs, dialing up pressure on Darnold has oftentimes been the best way to get him to unravel so far this season. During regular-season action, Darnold ranked just 28th among qualified"
Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks hinges on quarterback pressure and defensive execution. Sam Darnold has produced outstanding playoff numbers, including 470 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions across two postseason games, and performed well under pressure in the NFC title game. The Patriots plan to deploy a blitz-heavy approach featuring players such as Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and K'Lavon Chaisson to force hurried throws. Darnold's regular-season metrics under pressure ranked poorly, making pressure a decisive X-factor that could alter the game's momentum and outcome.
