JACKSONVILLE — Sam Darnold was admittedly bad once again in Sunday’s 29-15 loss to the Jaguars, this just six days after a 33-0 home loss to the Patriots. But the Jets’ second-year quarterback didn’t get much help from the guys up front tasked with providing pass protection.

Darnold was sacked eight times and was under pressure on plenty of other occasions, as the Jets were unable to deal with the Jaguars’ ultra-aggressive front seven.
