With all due respect to the stupid (and desperate) NFL team that will eventually give Sam Darnold a Brink’s Truck of money this offseason — I urge you to reconsider. Monday night’s Minnesota Vikings wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams was a microcosm of Darnold’s inherent flaws as a difference-making quarterback. Proceed with caution.

THE LOS ANGELES RAMS Don't look now, but these Rams, whose offense can run as hot as anyone's, have their defense going strong now, too. Los Angeles made life miserable on Sam Darnold and the Vikings offense en route to a 27-9 win.
