JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Sam Darnold went from seeing ghosts to seeing teal.
Darnold threw three interceptions and was sacked a career-high eight times in Jacksonville’s 29-15 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.
He was picked off twice in the fourth quarter, including one that set up Gardner Minshew’s game-sealing score to DJ Chark with a little more than 4 minutes to play.
“I know he saw a lot today,” said Jaguars defensive end Yannick Nkagoue, who notched two sacks. “He saw corners picking the ball. He saw defensive linemen in his face. … This is the standard and what we’re trying to embrace.
