Darnold returns as Jets upset Cowboys

QB Sam Darnold returned on Sunday and instantly made the struggling Jets look like a real NFL team. The anemic offense, rated last in the league before this game, gained 382 yards against the Dallas Cowboys, propelling the Gang Green to a 24-22 win. Darnold was 23 of 32, 338 yards, 2 TD and 1 INT, 113.8 QB rating.

The Jets jumped to a 21-3 lead late in the second quarter after Darnold connected with WR Robby Anderson and TE Ryan Griffin on two touchdown passes in a 3-minute span. It wasn’t going to be easy though, it never is when it comes to the Jets. The Cowboys responded with 13 unanswered points, cutting the Gang Green’s lead to only five points in the fourth quarter.
