Sam Darnold News: Quiet in Week 17 win

Darnold completed 18 of 27 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers. He added two rushing yards on three carries and lost one of two fumbles.

The passing yardage total was his second lowest of the season, but the Seahawks defense made sure that Darnold didn't need to produce too much offense. The 28-year-old QB did hit AJ Barner for a 17-yard score in the third quarter, giving Darnold 25 TD passes on the season -- the second straight year he's reached that mark -- and he needs just 150 passing yards to reach 4,000 for the second straight campaign. With Seattle potentially needing a win in Week 18 to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs, Darnold should be under center for the regular-season finale against the 49ers.
