"Ten months later, those two decisions stand near the top of the list of reasons why the Seahawks entered the playoffs as betting favorites to win Super Bowl LX, having claimed the NFC's No. 1 seed after a 14-3 regular season. Their quest for the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy begins Saturday ( 8 p.m. ET, Fox), when they host the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field in the divisional round."
"How far the Seahawks go in the playoffs will depend largely on whether Darnold can avoid the mistakes that plagued him over the second half of the season. He played well enough -- despite finishing with a league-high 20 turnovers -- to make the Pro Bowl. He also made some NFL history along the way. Darnold joined Tom Brady (2019-20) as the only quarterback to win at least 14 games in consecutive seasons with different teams."
The Seahawks introduced Sam Darnold after trading Geno Smith and signing Darnold following his Pro Bowl season with the Vikings. Those personnel moves contributed to Seattle finishing 14-3 and claiming the NFC's No. 1 seed, entering the playoffs as betting favorites to win Super Bowl LX. The Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round at Lumen Field. Darnold finished with a league-high 20 turnovers but still made the Pro Bowl and matched Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to win at least 14 games in consecutive seasons with different teams. Seattle signed Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract.
