WR Demaryius Thomas

Jamison Crowder, Robby Anderson, Ryan Griffin and Daniel Brown were the recipients of Darnold’s touchdowns, but Thomas provided some key receptions on those scoring drives.

Two of his four receptions went for first downs and another set the Jets up with third-and-short. He caught four of his five targets for 44 yards and looks a lot more comfortable working with Darnold and Gase again.
