JACKSONVILLE -- Two hours before kickoff, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was mocked in the sky above TIAA Bank Field. A plane circled the stadium with a banner that read: "Gardner Minshew ain't afraid of no ghost!"
Ouch.
With a chance to shut up his critics, Darnold was outplayed by Minshew and experienced a daytime nightmare Sunday, throwing three interceptions and getting sacked eight times in a 29-15 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That makes seven interceptions in the past two games.
Yes, it's time to worry about Darnold, who became the butt of jokes.
