LANDOVER, Md. -- With a chance to separate himself in the New York Jets' quarterback competition, rookie Sam Darnold threw his first professional interception in an uneven performance Thursday night against the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field.
As expected, Darnold got the start and played the entire first half before yielding to Teddy Bridgewater in the Jets' 15-13 loss.
The Jets' first-round pick made some impressive throws, but his last one was a costly turnover -- a fourth-down interception in the red zone.
Coach Todd Bowles said he will make his decision about the Jets' starting quarterback after the fourth preseason game.
