Magicgames II » Sam Darnold went from seeing ghosts to seeing teal.Darnold

threw three interceptions and was sacked a career-high eight times in Jacksonville's 29-15 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.He was picked off twice in the fourth quarter Joe Namath Jersey , including one that set up Gardner Minshew's game-sealing score to DJ Chark with a little more than 4 minutes to play."I know he saw a lot today," said Jaguars defensive end Yannick Nkagoue, who notched two sacks. "He saw corners picking the ball. He saw defensive linemen in his face. ... This is the standard and what we're trying to embrace."Darnold completed 21 of 30 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns — both to Ryan Griffin — but the turnovers and takedowns overshadowed all the positives.The Jaguars pressured him early and often, hitting him on nearly every passing play and sacking him twice as many times as any other team had during his two-year NFL career. He said afterward he sprained his left thumb."For some reason, I just didn't throw the ball as well these last couple of games," Darnold said. "I just have to continue to practice hard and get better."Darnold's performance came six days after he was caught on camera saying he was "seeing ghosts" in a 33-0 loss to New England. Darnold wore a microphone for ESPN's broadcast of the Monday night game, and his comment went viral.His words still resonated at TIAA Bank Field.A plane circled the stadium pulling a huge banner that read: "Gardner Minshew ain't afraid of no ghost." And Jacksonville's mascot, Jaxson de Ville, ran onto the field shortly before kickoff wearing a white sheet over his head.Fans donned sheets and waved ghostly signs, and the public address system cranked the "Ghostbusters" theme song at the 2-minute warning."It is what it is. It didn't affect me," Darnold said. "It's just a silly thing for social media, fans. They'll try to use it against you. For me, I was just playing bad because I did. I wasn't executing out there. I wasn't throwing the ball to where it needed to be. It wasn't about that though."The Jets (1-6) managed 213 yards, with 93 of those coming on their opening drive."We had a lot of guys making plays Womens Curtis Martin Jersey , literally taking turns making plays," Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell said. "It was fun to be out there."MINSHEW MANIAMinshew completed 22 of 34 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns, surely making the Jaguars think twice about giving the starting job back to Nick Foles.The rookie also scrambled for 28 yards, including for three first downs. He has more mobility than Foles, who broke his collarbone in the season opener and could return from injured reserve in three weeks.Minshew had scores to Keelan Cole, Chris Conley and Chark. The pass to Chark was his best of the day. He rolled right, pump-faked twice to move defenders and then hit Chark in the front corner of the end zone."Kind of just blacked out on that one," Minshew said.BIG PLAYSJacksonville used two big plays to build an early lead. Leonard Fournette gained 66 yards on the second play of the game, setting up Cole's 6-yard score, and Minshew's TD pass to Conley covered 70 yards.The Jaguars used two more — on the other side of the ball — to close out their second straight win. A.J. Bouye and Tre Herndon picked off passes in the fourth.KEY INJURIESJets: CB Trumaine Johnson left in the first half with an ankle injury. ... C Ryan Kalil left in the third quarter with a right knee injury.Jaguars: WR Dede Westbrook was ruled out at halftime with a neck/shoulder injury. He was questionable to play with a shoulder injury and re-injured in on a punt return. ... Marqise Lee left in the second with a left shoulder injury. Cornerback D.J. Hayden left in the fourth quarter with a left shoulder injury and was ruled out. Safety Ronnie Harrison left late in the fourth with a neck injury.UP NEXTJets: Return to the Sunshine State to play AFC East rival Miami next Sunday. The Dolphins have won three straight and five of six in the series.Jaguars: Travel to London for a "home" game against AFC South rival Houston, which beat Jacksonville 13-12 in Week 2. It's the Jags' seventh consecutive year playing at Wembley Stadium. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen’s status remains uncertain. Derek Anderson is out. And that means it might be Matt Barkley time for Buffalo.Barkley is suddenly in the mix to start against the New York Jets on Sunday, some 10 days after Buffalo signed the journeyman to serve as an emergency backup.Coach Sean McDermott on Friday backed off his previous commitment of having turnover-prone backup Nathan Peterman start against the Jets if Allen and Anderson can’t play. Asked about the possibility of Peterman starting, McDermott sidestepped the question by saying he preferred to keep the focus on Allen.That’s a switch from Monday http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-klecko-jersey , when McDermott said Peterman would be the starter.Anderson will miss his second game due to a concussion .Allen is listed as questionable on Buffalo’s injury report. He’s been out since spraining his right throwing elbow in a 20-13 loss at Houston on Oct. 14. Allen began testing his arm last week , and practiced on a limited basis for the past three days.“We’re going to continue to take it one day at a time here,” McDermott said of Allen. “It comes down to No. 1, a medical decision and making sure we’re doing everything right in terms of the priority of being his health and functionality from a football standpoint.”One consideration is Allen benefiting from an additional break with Buffalo entering its bye week after playing the Jets.A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Barkley is being considered ahead of Peterman, but a final decision hasn’t yet been made. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because McDermott did not reveal the team’s plans.The Bills are 2-7 and have lost four straight.Peterman has thrown seven interceptions in four appearances this season, including three in a 41-9 loss to Chicago last weekend.The Bills signed Barkley on Oct. 30. He is on his sixth team in six seasons, and hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2016, when he started six games with the Chicago Bears. Barkley was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals in September after hurting his knee in a preseason game.“We’re all in the mix to start. You could be out there, we never know,” Barkley said with a laugh, referring to a reporter.“I’m a little bit surprised of how quickly I was able to pick up this stuff,” he added, after taking additional snaps after practice and being the last quarterback to leave the field. “It’s really like riding a bike. You get a little sweat going and it’s go time. You’ve done it for years, so I should be good to go.”Barkley was selected by Philadelphia in the fourth round of the 2013 draft Wesley Walker Jersey , and spent his first two seasons there. Overall, he has a 1-5 record as a starter and has gone 159 for 266 for 1,911 yards with eight touchdowns and 18 interceptions in 11 career appearances.“It hasn’t maybe been the plan I signed up for when I thought of going to the NFL,” Barkley said of his numerous pro stops. “But from what I’ve been able to learn along the way, I think I’m in a great spot right now.”Barkley would become the fourth quarterback to start for the Bills this season, and third in three weeks.The carousel at quarterback has contributed to the offense’s season-long struggles. Buffalo has scored two touchdowns in its past four games, eight overall, and has an NFL-worst 96 points.Running back LeSean McCoy is familiar with Barkley from when the two played in Philadelphia.“He’s intelligent. He’ll have a tough time because they’re a good defense and it’s a fresh start, but I don’t think it’s nothing he can’t handle,” McCoy said. “We’ll support him. We’ll be behind him. I’m sure he’ll have a good game. It’ll be a tough matchup. It’s a good defense.”Starting tight end Charles Clay was ruled out after hurting his hamstring last weekend. Defensive end Trent Murphy will miss his third game with a knee injury. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (concussion), running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and receiver Andre Holmes (neck) are listed as questionable.
