JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — ***** Gone viral ***** doesn’t begin to do justice to the speed-of-light rate in which the news spread of Sam Darnold — mic’d up for national television in the Jets’ game Monday night against the Patriots — lamenting, as he sat on the bench, he was “seeing ghosts’’ after throwing the second of his four interceptions.
First, for those who believe Darnold should have been embarrassed or humiliated about the fact the Patriots’ disguised, blitzing defense was confusing him, lighten up.
“Seeing ghosts’’ is a well-worn phrase used by quarterbacks who aren’t recognizing what the opposing defense is doing.
