"The Seahawks' win marked the latest milestone in what has been a fairytale campaign for Darnold, who has enjoyed a renaissance with Seattle this season after a rocky start to his career. It's amazing to be able to do this with these guys in this locker room, with this coaching staff it means the world to me, said Darnold, who played for four different clubs before arriving in Seattle last year. The 28-year-old finished Sunday's classic with three touchdowns, 346 passing yards and no interceptions."
"Darnold's gripping slugfest with Stafford was effectively tilted in Seattle's favour when a late Rams drive to the Seahawks' six-yard line came away with nothing. We came here with expectations to win, Rams coach Sean McVay said afterwards. It was a great back-and-forth game by two great teams, but a couple of critical errors ended up costing us I'm never really short on words, but I am right now. It's tough, but this is sports, and you've got to be able to deal with it."
