- He joins Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks with back-to-back 13-win seasons.
- Darnold is the first to achieve the streak with two franchises, following his offseason move to Seattle on a reported $100 million deal.
- Minnesota let Darnold leave in free agency and installed J.J. McCarthy as starter before declining this season, according to the coverage.
