Sam Darnold, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, is showing significant improvement this season, despite some ongoing mistakes. Under the guidance of coach Kevin O'Connell, Darnold has led the team to a 6-2 record, demonstrating better completion rates and passer ratings than in previous seasons.

Even in a less-than-stellar performance against the Indianapolis Colts, where he threw two interceptions, Darnold's overall statistics remain strong, including a completion rate of 69.5% and a passer rating of 107.8. His aggressive playstyle, particularly on deep throws, has helped him connect effectively with star receiver Justin Jefferson.
