Sam-Darnold-FedEx-Air-Player-Of-The-Week-Nomination

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was nominated for the FedEx Air Player of the Week for his performance in Week 3 vs. the Saints. Darnold had an almost near perfect day finishing 14 of 18 for 218 yards and threw for two touchdowns. The quarterback played for three quarters before Drew Lock took over after building a 44-6 lead. He finished the night with a 154.2 passer rating.

Following the game head coach Mike Macdonald said, "He's just playing really good with great confidence and he's decisive. I think one ball he probably wants back on the spray off to Jaxon (Smith-Njigba). Guys are playing hard for him. Our protection right now is really good and we got to keep that going. Look, Sam would be the first to tell you we're excited we're 2-1 but we have to go stack some wins and win another one. He's hungry to do that."
