Sam Darnold had been red-hot over the New York Jets’ three-game win streak. He was responsible for nine touchdowns (seven passing, two rushing) and only one turnover. The USC product also posted incredible numbers with a 117.2 passer rating and 9.4 yards per attempt.
However, Darnold’s hot streak came to an end in Cincinnati. Darnold completed 28 of 48 passes for 239 yards (a measly 5.0 per attempt) and no touchdowns.
However, as has often been the case when Darnold has struggled (particularly on the road), the offensive line simply gave him no chance.
