Best defense Darnold has faced since Patriots

Sam Darnold hasn’t been good against top defenses this season. The Ravens will be the best defense the Jets offense has faced since the Patriots in Week 7 when they failed to score a single point and only put up 154 yards of offense. Darnold was especially horrid and had his worst career game, completing 11 of his 32 passes for 84 yards with four interceptions and a fumble. 

The Ravens defense isn’t as good statistically as the Patriots, but they’re still fourth in total DVOA and third in pass DVOA. They’ve only allowed more than 20 points twice all season – and teams like the Patriots, Texans, Rams, and 49ers scored a combined 50 points. The Jets don’t have nearly as good an offense as those teams and Adam Gase should be worried going against a defense that blitzes a league-high 53.9 percent on dropbacks.
