Sam Darnold reflects on Seahawks' Super Bowl win and missed opportunities

In a recent podcast interview, Sam Darnold expressed his dissatisfaction with his performance during Seattle's 29-13 Super Bowl LX victory against New England. Despite winning his first championship, Darnold stated he felt 'kind of bummed' about missed opportunities, particularly three key throws that could have changed the game's outcome. He completed 50% of his passes, significantly lower than his regular-season completion rate of 67.7%. Darnold pinpointed specific throws he regrets, including a missed deep pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and an overthrow to Rashid Shaheed. Darnold indicated he only recently reviewed the game due to his frustration with his own performance.
