"Facing a second-and-10 from their own 40 with 23 seconds left, Sam Darnold hit receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba down the left sideline for a 22-yard gain, setting up Jason Myers' game-winning field goal from 52 yards out as time expired two plays later. "Sam made a perfect throw, honestly," Smith-Njigba said. "Back shoulder throw. The corner was on top of me, so he just placed it perfectly, and it was an easy grab.""
"Like all Seahawks contracts, the three-year, $100.5 million deal they gave Darnold in March after trading Geno Smith gives the team a potential out after one season, putting pressure on their new quarterback to deliver immediate results in 2025. And he is. After completing 18 of 26 attempts for 242 yards and a touchdown Thursday night, Darnold now has five TDs to two interceptions while leading Seattle to a 3-1 start."
The Seahawks rallied for a 23-20 win after their defense allowed the Cardinals to score 17 straight points and tie the game late.

The team's three-year, $100.5 million contract for Darnold includes a one-year out, increasing expectations for immediate performance.
