Sam Darnold needs to turn things around for Jets against winless Broncos

All the negativity that’s swirling around the Jets is focused squarely on coach Adam Gase. But the Sam Darnold watch is on, too.

Darnold is coming off one of the worst games of his career, and questions about whether he’s a franchise quarterback are coming more frequently.

A win Thursday night at MetLife Stadium against the Broncos would take some heat off Gase. Darnold could help himself, his coach and his team with a bounce-back performance against this QB-friendly Denver defense.

Both teams are 0-3, and, if possible, the Broncos are more banged up than the Jets.
