Adam Gase wasn’t in Sam Darnold’s ear during Sunday’s game, but he was after it.

Darnold appeared down and frustrated after an ineffective and mistake-filled performance in the Jets’ 18-10 loss to the Bills. Gase spoke to Darnold Sunday night. The coach on the hot seat wanted to make sure the young quarterback was good mentally and tried to assure him that things will get better.
