Sam Darnold, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback, has set an NFL record by winning 14 games in his first season with the team. His teammates celebrated this achievement by mobbing him with water and lifting him onto their shoulders after a 27-25 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Darnold’s performance included a season-high 377 passing yards, pushing him to his first 4,000-yard season, and three touchdown passes, bringing his season total to 35, the fourth-most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first season with a team. The Vikings are now set for a crucial Week 18 game against the Detroit Lions, where the NFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs are at stake. Darnold, who signed a one-year contract in March, started all 16 games due to rookie J.J. McCarthy’s season-ending knee injury.
