Darnold picked himself off the mat and threw for 144 yards, two TDs and three two-point conversions in the fourth quarter and OT to lead the improbable comeback and give Darnold one of his signature victories -- not just as a Seahawk but also as an NFL QB.
He received a ton of help from Kenneth Walker III, who ran for 100 yards and a 55-yard TD that gave the Seahawks a lead early in the third quarter....He also had three catches for 64 more yards and chased down the Rams’ Josh Wallace to stop him at Seattle's 1-yard line after an interception. Even though the Rams scored the next play, the hustle was inspirational.
Why Walker only received 14 touches is anyone’s guess, but he gave the Seahawks everything he could Thursday night, with every yard counting in the massive win.
