Sam Darnold's big day bodes well for the man who drafted him

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- In three weeks, the New York Jets' big bosses -- owner Woody Johnson and CEO Christopher Johnson -- will set a new course for the franchise. In all likelihood they will fire coach Todd Bowles, who won Sunday for the first time in 56 days. The real question involves general manager Mike Maccagnan, who is equally culpable for the Jets' 4-9 record.

Maccagnan hasn't distinguished himself as an ace talent evaluator, but the sense around the team is that he probably will get the chance to proceed with the rebuilding plan he hatched in 2017.
