Sam Darnold's performance for the Minnesota Vikings against the Jacksonville Jaguars showcased both promise and pitfalls. Despite the Vikings securing a narrow 12-7 victory, Darnold struggled with accuracy, throwing three interceptions that halted potential scoring drives.

While he had a strong season leading up to this game, Darnold's mistakes mirrored his earlier career struggles with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers. The Vikings' offense, despite gaining significant yardage, was unable to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns, highlighting Darnold's inconsistency.
