Sam Darnold's next challenge: Short week and "'Star Wars' blitzes"
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The clock started ticking at 4:06 p.m. Sunday. As he walked off the field after losing to the Miami Dolphins, Sam Darnold digested the game and quickly turned his focus to the Cleveland Browns, knowing he'd have to cram on a short week.
As the Education of Sam Darnold continues, this chapter is known as, "The Rush Job for The Rush Job." On Sunday evening, after some family time, Darnold joined backup quarterback Josh McCown at the Jets' facility to start breaking down Cleveland video. They worked well into the night.
"Yeah, it's a different challenge, something that I haven't necessarily dealt with," Darnold said of the quick turnaround. "But it's awesome."
