Sam Darnold’s secret is out there.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been accused of diming Sam Darnold out after losing to the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle made light work of the NFC Championship hopefuls on Saturday night, posting no entry signs in the end zones to the tune of a 41-6 victory.

Darnold was listed as questionable coming into the game. The quarterback suffered an oblique injury during practice on Thursday, which prevented him from throwing until pregame on Saturday.

He wasn’t even a full participant in warmups.

The Seahawks made life easier for him by running the ball, claiming 175 yards on the ground from 33 carries.

He only needed to throw 17 passes, 12 of which were completed for 124 yards. He also didn’t commit any turnovers, which is always great.

Shanahan was well aware that the QB was on painkillers, intimating as much to reporters after his team lost.

“Warmups are like that, but it takes a while for the Toradol to kick in,” he said.“So we knew he’d be fine once kickoff came. Which doesn’t really have to do with pressure. Sometimes it can affect how they throw, but usually when that Toradol kicks in, it doesn’t. Sam played really well today.”

One fan thought he was “dry snitching.”

The Seahawks also handed their QB the best start possible by scoring a touchdown before he even got onto the field.

A date against the winner of Sunday’s Rams-Bears game awaits.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
