That Empty Feeling ..
Congratulations are in order. Sam Darnold throws for his first 300-yard game as a pro. The rookie was 25 of 41 (61%) for 334 yards and a touchdown.
Be sure that's not what Coach Bowles had in mind, as Miami limits the Jets running game to a mere 41 yards on 17 rushes. Pressed into an elevated role Sam Darnold throws two interceptions: one in the first quarter that Miami converts into six points, then a second in the third quarter. By comparison, Darnold's veteran counterpart Ryan Tannehill offers up a sixty-minute lesson in efficiency and proficiency.
After such an impressive showing in Week One, this is indeed one of those oft recurring inexplicable team losses that makes fans scratch grooves into the sides of their heads.
Don't put this on the rookie.
I don't think anyone anticipated the Fish bringing the Jets running game to a grinding halt.
Down by twenty at halftime?
They still had chances.
Keep scratching.
