FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY—The New York Jets are, at best, an excuse to avoid weekend holiday obligations.
Those who did tune into the Jets’ latest exploits had their faith rewarded in the form of a 27-23 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The victory came in the most dramatic of fashions, capped off by a nine-play, 61-yard trek to the end zone, concluded by a gutsy fourth and goal call that reached the end zone.
The architect of the heroics was none other than Sam Darnold, a quarterback who, for all intents and purposes probably shouldn’t have been in the game.
