Limit turnovers

Turnovers crushed the Jets in 2019. New York tied for the ninth-most turnovers last year and went 1-4 in games it gave up the ball two more times. But when the Jets turned the ball over fewer than twice, they finished 6-5. 

A lot of this was Darnold’s fault: he threw 13 interceptions and lost three of his 11 fumbles. So the buck stops at the quarterback. A better offensive line should do him wonders, but Darnold needs to improve his decision-making if he’s to develop into a franchise quarterback. He only turned the ball over once in his two games against the Bills in 2019, which bodes well for his chances on Sunday.
