Darnold Huge In Second Half, Rallies Jets Over Bills
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Sam Darnold one-upped fellow rookie Josh Allen, rallying the New York Jets to a 27-23 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Elijah McGuire scored on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1 with 1:17 remaining to cap a drive during which Darnold completed three of five passes for 52 yards. The rookie quarterback particularly showed off his deft touch on a 37-yard pass to Robby Anderson, who made an over-the-shoulder catch up the right sideline.
It was Darnold’s first career fourth-quarter comeback and came in his first game back after missing three with a strained right foot.
