Sam Darnold’s scintillating touchdown run got plenty of attention from some A-list sports celebrities.
Darnold broke a tackle or two, and seemingly some ankles, when he escaped from the pocket and ran 46 yards for the score in Thursday’s 37-28 loss to the Broncos.
The Jets quarterback evaded the rush, scrambled away, stutter-stepped away from one tackle, then faked another two Broncos when it appeared he would slide.
