Darnold Sinks Under Pressure As Jets Drop to 0-3

 COLTS 36 - JETS 7 

Another day, another loss for the New York Jets. 

All the catcalls the past few weeks that the Jets should tank for Trevor Lawrence will only get louder after quarterback Sam Darnold tossed three interceptions, including two that were returned for touchdowns in Gang Green's 36-7 meltdown against Indianapolis on Sunday. 

Aside from a couple of early first half drives where the Jets offense looked competent, it was a total nighmare for Gang Green on Sunday. The Colts easily tore through the Jets defense, as Philip Rivers completed 17 of 21 for 217 yards and a touchdown pass. 

Really, this game was over when the Colts answered the Jets lone touchdown drive when Mo-Allie Cox scored from one-yard out to make it 14-7. 

But the Jets 36-7 loss wasn't the biggest story of the day. Earlier Sunday, reports surfaced from Chris Mortonsen of ESPN that Gase Watch is well underway at 1 Jets Drive, with executives looking closely at Gase's work over the next two weeks. Could Gase get fired Friday? That is a big question. 

The Jets play the Broncos on Thursday night, and a bad showing against a beat up Broncos team could spell the end of Gase's tenure. Even if the Jets were to win, it should delude the fact that this is a horribly coached football team that is in desperate need of a change at head coach. 

Get ready Jets fans for a bumpy week!
