Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold addressed the Los Angeles Rams' recent acquisition of defensive end Myles Garrett during a press conference on June 3, 2026. Darnold acknowledged Garrett as a significant player but noted that the Seahawks won't face him until Week 16 of the season. The rivalry between the two teams is anticipated to reignite in a Christmas Day matchup, a critical game for both squads given their standing in the league. Until then, the Seahawks will focus on the rest of the regular season without the added challenge of facing Garrett, who posted 23.0 sacks in 2025.
