Super Bowl 2026 reporter fell into Sam Darnold’s locker and spilled beer in postgame scene gone awry
NY Post
Sam Darnold to the rescue!
When recapping part of her Super Bowl 2026 experience Tuesday during a radio appearance on Chicago’s 104.3 The Score, ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler detailed how she fell into the Seahawks quarterback’s locker postgame at Levi’s Stadium and accidentally spilled his beer.
“I start approaching the scrum [in the locker room]. I can’t hear anything, so I go around to one side of him where it’s closest to his locker, and there was a folding chair in front of the locker, and I was like, ‘Great, if I kneel on this folding chair, I’ll be able to get my phone in there and get some good video,’ and I also wanted to get a couple questions in so I needed to be heard to be close,” Kahler, a senior NFL writer, recalled.
“So I kneel on the folding chair and the folding chair collapsed underneath me… it collapsed right away and I went hands-first into his locker, because it’s like a cubby, so I went straight into his locker and he had a beer sitting there, and I knocked it over.”
Darnold, fresh off the Seahawks’ 29-13 triumph over the Patriots, paused the group interview at his locker to check in on Kahler, as captured in footage from the scene.
“You OK?” the quarterback, 28, asked in a video shared by Kahler, who replied, “I’m good.”
