Our last hope looks lost as Jets and Sam Darnold get dominated

The only current hope in New York’s sporting scene just showed little reason to have any.

With an opportunity to win their third straight game, and achieve their best record this late in a year for the first time in three seasons, the Jets fell back below .500, with an abysmal offensive display Sunday, losing 37-17 to the Vikings at MetLife Stadium.

On a windy afternoon, Sam Darnold had his worst day as a pro — completing just 17-of-42 passes for 206 yards, with two total touchdowns and a career-high three interceptions — but his backfield wasn’t any better.
