Darnold Duck: Sam commits 5 turnovers, 'sees ghosts' in frightful Jets' loss

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed just 11-of-32 passes for 86 yards with 0 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in a 33-0, Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots on Monday night.

What It Means:

Darnold was also sacked once and lost a fumble on the play. The Patriots' defense made things impossible for the second-year quarterback, who set a career-low in yards and a personal-high in turnovers. His 3.7 QB rating is the worst mark in Jets franchise history for someone with 25-plus pass attempts. Things were so bad that a mic'd up Darnold was heard admitting to "seeing ghosts" in the pocket. He was throwing ducks all night long and every decision was a terrible decision. This sort of performance has the potential to mess with a young quarterback's psyche, though it's hard to imagine things being any worse for Darnold and the Jets in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Darnold finished with negative-2.7 FanDuel points in Week 7. He's the QB24 in numberFire's Week 8 fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 14.6 FanDuel points, at a cost of $7,400.
