Sam Darnold addressed what he meant by ‘seeing ghosts’

No, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold didn’t spot actual apparitions Monday night at MetLife Stadium.

With the Jets trailing the Patriots, 24-0, the ESPN broadcast caught a mic’d up Darnold on the bench saying, “I’m seeing ghosts.”

After his team’s 33-0 loss, Darnold clarified he was referring to his field vision.

“I think, for me, when I talk to the coaches, I just got to be straight up,” Darnold said. “For me, I just got to see the field a lot better. That’s kind of what that means. It was a rough day out there, tough night out there.
