Sam Darnold has slayed the ghosts

Sam Darnold has shown he is a ghostbuster over the past month.

Just five weeks ago, Darnold was the joke of the sports universe after a five-turnover performance on national television in a 33-0 loss to the Patriots that included his “seeing ghosts” comment.

It was the kind of performance than can wreck a quarterback. It could have destroyed his confidence. It could have sent his season into a spiral.

Instead, the 22-year-old got off the mat, brushed himself off and has played some of the best football of his career over the past four weeks.
