It wasn’t quite as warm out at Florham Park on Tuesday as it was the previous day, but the Jets defense was certainly making the quarterbacks feel the heat. Outside of the red zone, rookie quarterback Sam Darnold had some struggles and back-up safety JJ Wilcox was the sole beneficiary.
Wilcox picked Darnold off twice. Once on an overthrown ball that he ran back for a TD, and another where the opposite occurred as Darnold under-threw Robby Anderson, allowing Wilcox to undercut the route and come away with his second pick of the day.
In the red zone however, where Darnold has often looked his best, he tossed another four touchdowns with one being what was arguable the best play of training camp up to this point.
