It turns out the New York Jets are better off with Sam Darnold as their quarterback.
Making his return to the starting lineup following a three-game absence due to mononucleosis, Darnold led the Jets to a 24-22 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The No. 3 overall draft pick in 2018 went 23-of-32 for 338 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
Jamison Crowder and Robby Anderson were the two main beneficiaries from Darnold's return. Anderson, who had 131 receiving yards in the past four games, nearly matched that total Sunday with 125 yards off five catches and had his first touchdown of the season.
