Welcome to the newest opening weekend in the land of the New York Jets. With franchise quarterback Sam Darnold back from his bout with mononucleosis, Adam Gase and company have a new lease on life.
The challenge, of course, isn’t a pushover.
The 3-2 Dallas Cowboys stroll into town an angry bunch. Losers of their last two (New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers), Dak Prescott’s squad looks to right the ship against a winless Jets (0-4) club.
While Darnold’s return brings sunny skies, the injury report saddens the mood quite a bit.
