Sam Darnold’s Breakout Season and the Vikings’ Postseason Hopes
While this marks his first postseason appearance, Darnold understands the weight of playoff games. A disappointing performance in Week 18 helped propel the Detroit Lions to the NFC North title, highlighting the high stakes. Now, another rough outing against the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round could drastically alter the narrative of his impressive comeback story.
“It’s kind of where legacies, I guess, are made,” Darnold said, via Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “Not just winning games, but winning those later games like AFC, NFC championships, winning Super Bowls. That’s how you’re going to be remembered.”
The Vikings remain confident that Darnold will bounce back in a big way against the Rams. A strong performance would cement his remarkable turnaround and leave a lasting impression on the NFL.
