Breaking down so many positives from Week 1 win

New York Jets fans were very happy about Monday nights performance. There were so many positives to talk about, it’s hard to not have a huge smile after such a dominating performance. Let’s break down all the main positive takeaways from this Week 1 matchup.

Sam Darnold’s debut could not have started off worse. QBs are taught to not throw the ball across the opposite end of the field after rolling to the other direction and that is what Darnold did which lead to him throwing a pick-six on his first career pass. However, he was sensational after that, completing 16 of 20 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns and no further turnovers.
