STACKED’s take
Darnold's efficient night against Spagnuolo's defense shows he's back to 2025 form despite the pick.
Despite throwing an end zone interception, Darnold played 'very well' and 'highly efficiently' according to the source. He 'got the ball out quickly, on time, and accurately,' scrambled for critical first downs, took no sacks, and avoided forcing passes into tight coverage outside of the pick. The source states 'Darnold looked comfortable and in control of the offense almost all night' and notes his deep balls to Jaxon Smith-Njigba were excellent. The source concludes 'Darnold looked a lot more like 2025 Darnold' and did so against a Steve Spagnuolo defense, suggesting this performance represents a return to form after two preceding weeks where he became 'a liability more than the solution.'
