Super Bowl title punctuates Sam Darnold’s redemption story

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Sam Darnold didn't need to play a starring role to pen the final chapter in one of the greatest redemption stories in NFL history on Sunday night.

Darnold completed 19 of 38 yards with a touchdown and did not turn the ball over in Seattle's 29-13 victory over New England in Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium. He didn't win Most Valuable Player honors -- those went to running back Kenneth Walker III. And truth be told, he missed a few open receivers that could have help the Seahawks pull away earlier in the game.
