GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Sam Darnold did nearly everything right in a renaissance season, resurrecting his career as a starter while pushing Minnesota to one of the NFL’s best records.
A deep playoff run was the expected next step.
A disappointing night in the desert instead rammed Darnold and the Vikings right out of the postseason.
Darnold was ineffective for most of of his first playoff start, losing two turnovers while matching an NFL record by taking nine sacks in the Vikings’ 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC wild-card round on Monday night.
