Sam Darnold Thanks Seahawks and Jets Fans as Super Bowl Celebrations Continue

Belief from Seattle, he says, made the turnaround possible.

Overview

  • Seattle won Super Bowl LX 29-13 over New England, with Darnold going 19-of-38 for 202 yards and a touchdown during a postseason in which the Seahawks committed zero turnovers.
  • At the championship parade, Darnold credited owner Jody Allen, GM John Schneider, coach Mike Macdonald and his teammates for their faith, as linebacker Ernest Jones IV delivered a passionate defense of the team.
  • Asked for a message to Jets supporters, Darnold thanked them and said he felt he could have done more for the franchise that drafted him No. 3 overall in 2018.
  • Fiancée Katie Hoofnagle shared behind-the-scenes photos and a heartfelt Instagram tribute, with the couple also making a Disneyland appearance during the victory lap.
  • Darnold said his wedding is about a month away in a postgame NFL video, and an ESPN reporter’s account showed him checking on her kindly after she accidentally spilled his beer in the locker room.
