New York, NY (CBS New York)- After a brutal 0-4 start to the season, the New York Jets gave fans some hope last Sunday, with a 24-22 win over the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.
The game marked the return of starting quarterback Sam Darnold and, not coincidentally, flashes of brilliance from the offense for the first time all season. The 22-year-old quarterback completed 23 of his 32 pass attempts for 338 yards and two touchdowns. While he did throw an interception, the Cowboys failed to turn it into anything, missing the ensuing field goal. Perhaps more impressively, Darnold took just two sacks a week after his backup, Luke Falk, was dropped 10 times in a 31-6 loss to the Eagles.
