BREAKING: Sam Darnold Injured His Leg During The 5th Play Of The NFL Season And Now It's Time For QB1 Drew Lock To Get The Seahawks Another Ring

As Shaq would say, "Aw damn." Just a brutally tough turn of events for the Seattle Seahawks only 5 plays into the NFL season. Any Given Wednesday as they say. You truly hate to see it. The script wasn't supposed to go like this. 

Especially when it happens to a good guy who has already battled back against SO much chaos in his career. And sure, Sam Darnold did get a ring and has already proven many of his haters wrong. But there was so much potential for an even bigger season this time around. If you watched any of 'Hard Knocks' in August, you know what I'm talking about. I thought JSN might end up with 2,000 yards the way things were clicking with them. 

Just look at how beautiful that 639 RPM spiral is! Behold those lightning quick shoulder drops! Aw DAMN man. T''s & P's to all those sad fishmongers out in Seattle.

The good-ish news is… There's no definite word yet on what exactly happened to Darnold's leg. Here's what a few of the top Twitter doctors have to say about it though. 69% of the time, they're right every time. Not great.

But the only thing we know for sure is… IT'S MOTHERFUCKIN' DREW LOCK TIME BITCHES!!

Hopefully that injury isn't too serious and Sam is able to come back sometime this season. Either way, what a staunch reminder how very volatile the NFL experience can be. Gift & a curse. But still the greatest sport on earth for a damn reason.
