Everything changed with the Jets’ first win of the season on Sunday. Well, almost everything.
The shocking victory over the Rams won’t save Adam Gase’s job. But there is at least a possibility that Sam Darnold will be with the Jets next season.
That seemed highly unlikely if the Jets went winless, finished with the worst record in the NFL and were in position to draft Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick. That scenario surely would have resulted in Jets general manager Joe Douglas moving Darnold for more draft capital to use for this rebuild.
