Ernest Jones IV takes aim at Puka Nacua over Sam Darnold criticism

After Super Bowl LX, a social media exchange between Rams receiver Puka Nacua and Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV drew attention. Nacua tweeted a laughing/crying emoji with the words "Sam Darnold," referencing the Seahawks quarterback. Jones responded with a retort questioning Nacua's place in the game. The exchange follows an incident from Week 11 when Jones defended Darnold after he threw four interceptions in a loss to the Rams, emphasizing Darnold's overall performance and team support. The Seahawks rebounded from that loss and did not lose another game, including two victories over the Rams.
