Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said on Seattle Sports’ “ Brock & Salk ” that while Darnold will be sore after he played through an injury, it’s “ nothing major. ”
The Seahawks now prepare for their Super Bowl matchup against the New England Patriots on Feb. 8. Darnold has experience playing the Patriots having spent three seasons with the New York Jets .
Darnold is 0-4 against New England . Notably, one of those losses came in 2019 when the Patriots defense had the quarterback “ seeing ghosts ” after he had two interceptions and a lost fumble in the first half.
The 28-year-old has revived his career since then. Darnold is coming off consecutive 14-3 seasons as he prepares for his first Super Bowl appearance.
