The Jets got off to another slow start, a common theme in 2020. On the first drive of the game, Sam Darnold threw an interception to Xavier Rhodes while targeting Lawrence Cager, who returned it for the opening touchdown. He then bounced back nicely, leading a 14-play drive, capped off by a beautiful touchdown pass to Braxton Berrios while scrambling for his life. Ultimately, Darnold had an awful day, with 3 interceptions, with two being returned for touchdowns. It appeared as though Adam Gase received the messages about his possible firing, because the offensive play calling looked to be slightly improved compared to the first two games.
