The New York Jets took care of business in their preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Not only did they win 17-0 but the star of the night, rookie quarterback Sam Darnold, made a very strong case that he could indeed be the Week 1 starter for the regular season.
Darnold looked calm, cool, and collective in his debut with the Jets and lived up to a lot of the hype he generated all offseason long. Of course, it’s just one game but is a step in the right direction for him to make his case to move up the quarterback depth chart of the Jets.
