NFL fans went in on NBC’s Cris Collinsworth after the veteran sportscaster made a curious comment regarding Sam Darnold on Sunday.
Darnold led the Minnesota Vikings to another win on the night, this time in a ‘Sunday Night Football’ fixture against the Indianapolis Colts that looked like it could have gone either way before the former got a proper hold of it.
The Vikings are 6-2 with Darnold as their starting quarterback this season, with the former New York Jets first-round pick likely to play himself into Pro Bowl selection at the end of the season.
According to Collinsworth, the QB has acclimated to the Minnesota offense because he has a “Midwestern” feel to him; that’s despite Darnold growing up in California, playing for USC, and then the Jets.
