Pre-Snap Reads 11/29: Sam Darnold grateful to be Seahawks QB1

In Today’s Links: a look at the playoff picture, thus far; more numbers of note as it pertains to Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s historic 2025 season, the Minnesota Vikings have to start an untested quarterback on Sunday versus our Seattle Seahawks, Rylie Mills is one step closer to hitting the field, former ‘Hawk Justin Britt is now a runner, Byron Murphy is thankful, the Sea Hawkers check yer Hawkra, and much more! Tomorrow’s game should be an interesting one. How do you think it will turn out? Which way are you leaning? Personally, I am a little bit nervous, as I am reminded of how often back-up QBs seems to baffle our squad over the years (Colt McCoy, are you there?). Beyond unrequited fear, thanks for being here! Go, ‘Hawks!
