Jets looking for identity

After destroying the Detroit Lions 48-17 in week one of the 2018 NFL season, it became clear the New York Jets have a bit more to offer than fans saw during a dismal 5-11 2017 season. However, week two reminded everyone this is still a work in progress.

In week one, Head Coach Todd Bowles handed the reins of the offense to rookie QB Sam Darnold, but he kept the leash short. A conservative passing attack and a solid running game, plus a long punt return and interception for touchdowns led the way for the Jets. For Darnold’s part, he did throw for two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions (one returned for a TD) in just 21 passing attempts.
