Fans Slam Sam Darnold After Awful Performance
Despite being one of the best quarterbacks all season, Darnold struggled in the Vikings NFC Wild Card matchup against the Rams. In the first half he threw an interception, lost a fumble, and threw for just 113 yards as the Vikings trailed 3-24.
After a dismal performance, Vikings fans lit into Darnold on social media.
"Sam Darnold seeing Ghosts again Viking fans gotta be worried," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"I hope they remind Sam Darnold at halfitime that he can't stand in the pocket for 8 minutes," another user added.
"Sam Darnold is terrible. Tickle a guy, surprised," another user added.
Vikings' Justin Jefferson Admits Jealousy Towards Ex-Teammates
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has quickly become one of the more highly-touted names in the NFL. But he was a star way before he arrived in Cincinnati. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback for the LSU Tigers. He led the squad to a 15-0 record and an NCAA National Championship in 2019.
Burrow wasn't the only star for that team. So were his two favorite targets, Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. All three players were selected in the 2019 NFL Draft. Jefferson was among the highly scouted receivers in the draft so he came off the board early. But as fate would have it the Bengals were able to draft chase reuniting the two former LSU stars in Cincinnati.
Jefferson says that he is happy to see his former teammates continuing their journey together. However, he admits to being slightly jealous.
"I love them together, I love the chemistry that they have with each other, but it's definitely some jealousy on that side," Jefferson said.
"Me and Ja'Marr are always confident in ourselves to go out there and kill anybody that steps in front of us. Joe was tremendous, just his ability to move in the pocket, his ability to look down the field and make accurate throws, we knew once we stepped foot on that field, it was going to be crazy."
