New York Jets QB Sam Darnold calls live airing of ‘ghosts’ comment a ‘bummer’

The New York Jets have fallen to 1-5 on the season after finding themselves on the losing end of a Monday Night Football blowout. The visiting New England Patriots entered MetLife Stadium and torched Gang Green for 60 minutes, leading to a 33-0 victory.

New York quarterback Sam Darnold performed arguably worse than anyone, completing 11 of his 32 throws for 86 yards, zero touchdowns, and four interceptions. Having been mic’d up during the game by ESPN, Darnold was caught at one point claiming to see “ghosts.”

It’s become a notable story, as the second-year pro responded to the live airing of the quote on Tuesday on The Michael Kay Show.
