FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Some day, this dragon known as the New England Patriots will be slayed. Perhaps it will happen as a result of either Bill Belichick or Tom Brady – or both – no longer presiding over the greatest dynasty in sports history. Or maybe it will come at the hands of the next great coach/quarterback tandem.
Sam Darnold knows this and understands the enormity of the task that he and the Jets face in dealing with the team that has dominated the AFC East for nearly two decades running.
