The New York Jets are seeing red the day after “Monday Night Football” aired a clip of quarterback Sam Darnold admitting he was “seeing ghosts” out on the field against the New England Patriots. The second-year quarterback had a miserable game that night, completing only 34% of his passes for 86 yards and finished with a passer rating of 3.6 — all career lows. Darnold probably could have done without his sideline comment being broadcast for the world to hear. The former USC quarterback, who was wearing a microphone during the game, explained the remark to reporters following the Jets’ 33-0 loss. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that where somebody that was mic’ed up was basically … a comment like that was allowed to be aired.
