Is Jets' Sam Darnold ready to handle elite defenses like Vikings, Bears? Doesn't look like it

It was a grim Sunday at MetLife Stadium for quarterback Sam Darnold and the Jets' offense.

Darnold and the offense did precious little in a 37-17 loss to the Vikings in which the Jets gained just 263 yards and went 2 of 13 on third down against the NFL's top-ranked third-down defense.

Which begs the question: Just how in the world are the Jets and Darnold going to move the ball next Sunday in Chicago? The Bears entered Sunday ranked first in Football Outsiders' defensive DVOA ratings. And they have this guy named Khalil Mack to chase the quarterback.
