FILE - In this Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018, file photo, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (14) walks off the field after an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, in Miami Gardens, Fla. The Jets have six games left and will be hard-pressed to even match the 5-11 records they put up in each of the last two seasons. New York has two games against New England, including a home matchup out of the break, and meetings with Tennessee, Buffalo, Houston and Green Bay _ no gimmes in the bunch. Darnold is still considered the future of the franchise, no matter how much he struggles this season. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky, FIle)
