Darnold is playing as well as any QB in football, benefiting from what might be the Seahawks' best pass protection in over a decade.

Seattle got exceptional performances from their MVP candidate quarterback, their Offensive Player of the Year favorite and an undrafted DB.

Katie Hoofnagle needed to catch her breath after fiancé Sam Darnold’s sensational “Sunday Night Football” showing. Taking to her Instagram Stories following Seattle’s dominant 38-14 road victory over the Commanders, Hoofnagle re-shared a post from the Seahawks’ account that hyped Darnold’s stats, notably his four first-half touchdowns.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completes a 20-yard pass to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels throws a 25-yard pass to tight end Zach Ertz. Washington Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil intercepts Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold.

When Sunday night's game hit halftime, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was unaware that he had not thrown an incompletion in the first 30 minutes of play against the Commanders.

Seattle's starter is throwing the ball better than any quarterback in franchise history, and it's not even remotely close.
