Sam Darnold's redemption story complete with Super Bowl LX title | amNewYork
"The New York Jets have drafted a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, after all. The only problem was that Sam Darnold was lifting the Lombardi Trophy as a member of the Seattle Seahawks. Regardless, Seattle's 29-13 victory in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night was the lesser of the two evils encountered by most Jets fans, considering the alternative was to see their arch-rival New England Patriots win a seventh title in the last 24 years."
"By no means did Darnold light up the stat sheet on pro football's largest stage. He completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown, while his running back and Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker, went off for 135 yards on 27 carries. Kicker Jason Myers set a new Super Bowl record with five field goals, and the Seahawks' defense took the Patriots' offensive line to lunch to the tune of seven sacks."
Seattle defeated New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX with Sam Darnold as the Seahawks' quarterback and Kenneth Walker earning Super Bowl MVP after a 135-yard rushing performance. Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown while limiting mistakes and managing an aggressive Patriots defense. Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals and Seattle's defense recorded seven sacks. The result denied the Patriots a seventh title in 24 years and cast Darnold's journey from a high draft pick to Super Bowl winner as a notable redemption arc amid broader team development issues.
