Sam Darnold could get used to this.
It’s only the preseason, but the Jets’ mostly first-team offense has scored on its opening drive in both games they’ve played. It’s better than the alternative.
“I think starting fast is something we want to get really good at,” Darnold said.
To that end, the Jets have been playing faster. They’ve worked in practice on picking up the tempo and trying to master the no-huddle offense in Adam Gase’s system, and it’s shown thus far.
