The New York Jets are now halfway through Sam Darnold’s rookie season. With their record at 3-5, the Jets can be somewhat pleased with themselves, despite coming off of a tough loss to the Chicago Bears. In their wins against the Lions, Broncos, and Colts, the offense used their whole playbook and flashed serious potential. In their five losses however, the offense has struggled on third down and in the red zone, and we are reminded that Sam Darnold is still a rookie.
So Why did the Jets Lose to the Bears?
The Bears have been playing well this year, with Mitchell Trubisky making strides as the leader of their franchise and the defense coming up in a big way.
