Overview
- This week on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Darnold said he was “kinda bummed” about his Super Bowl performance and called his play below his own standards.
- Darnold detailed missed opportunities against New England, naming passes to Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp that he believes should have been big plays or touchdowns.
- In Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in February, Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown and one sack while the Seahawks beat the Patriots to claim the title.
- Seattle's defense and running back Kenneth Walker delivered the decisive work in the game, and the Seahawks' offense finished the postseason without committing a turnover.
- Darnold's candid assessment could shape public view of his championship legacy and matters that affect him personally, including how teams and fans weigh his on-field reliability during future contract talks.
