Check Out Sam Darnold’s Five Turnovers From Jets’ Loss Vs. Patriots

Monday night certainly was not Sam Darnold’s best.

The 22-year-old quarterback turned the ball over five times (yes, you read that correctly) in the New York Jets’ Monday night matchup against the Patriots. And New England’s beastly defense caused trouble for Darnold early and often.

Devin McCourty got the party started with interception No. 1 in the first quarter, his fifth pick of the season.

A sack early in the second quarter caused Darnold to fumble the ball, which Kyle Van Noy quickly recovered for turnover No. 2.

Duron Harmon joined the fun with an interception of his own in the second, bringing Darnold’s turnover count to three in the first half alone.

But the second half wasn’t much kinder to signal-caller, who’s third interception of the night landed in the arms of cornerback Stephon Gilmore.

The 22-year-old gave up his fifth turnover of the night just five minutes later. This time, it was Terrence Brooks’s turn to intercept the play.

Darold did manage to go without a turnover in the fourth quarter. But the Jets racked up six (!) of them in total during their Monday night loss.
