During ESPN’s broadcast of the Monday night game between the New York Jets and the visiting New England Patriots, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was filmed on the sideline saying that he was “seeing ghosts” — a reference to a defense that flabbergasted the second-year man all night long. Darnold is not the first passer to be overwhelmed by the Patriots, but his struggles were given clear additional visualization at this moment.
The ghosts in question haunted the home team all night long, as the game’s final score of 33-0 in favor of New England shows.
