Sam Darnold Unfazed by Rams Acquiring Myles Garrett

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Darnold acknowledged Garrett's talent but pointed out that the Seahawks won't face the Rams until Week 16. "Myles is a great player. Shoot, Jared Verse is a great player as well, but I don't think we see them until Week 16, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there," Darnold stated. playerbros.org

The Christmas prime-time matchup gives Seattle 15 weeks of the regular season before worrying about the newly acquired pass rusher, who recorded 23.0 sacks in 2025. The Seahawks will have just six days to prepare for Garrett and the Rams following a December 19 road game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
