Jan. 26 Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald praised quarterback Sam Darnold for « one of the best performances in playoff history » after winning the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Macdonald lauded the veteran quarterback — who led the Seahawks to a fourth Super Bowl appearance — in his postgame news conference Sunday in Seattle. Darnold completed 25 of 36 passes for 346 yards, three scores and no interceptions in the Seahawks’ 31-27 triumph. He totaled 209 yards in the first half and threw two touchdown tosses in the third quarter.
Darnold, who played his third consecutive game without a turnover, started despite limited participation all week in practice due to his lingering oblique injury.
« To come out the way he played, barely practicing, barely throwing the ball, it was really incredible », Macdonald told reporters. « It should go down as one of the best performances in playoff history, I would imagine.
« It’s hard to stack it, but I can’t imagine anybody playing any better.
