OFFENSE: The Jets got all the things they wanted from Sam Darnold. He played a clean game. He got rid of the ball quickly. He threw it away to avoid a sack. He didn’t make bad decisions or force things. The Jets are the NFL’s worst offense and they were playing Aaron Donald and the No. 1 defense. Darnold was sacked twice, didn’t turn the ball over, and managed the game and clock at the end well.
