EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sam Darnold nearly pulled off another one. “To go out there against a good Texans team, it would’ve been awesome to be able to get that win,” Darnold said. “But we just came up short.”Things looked promising after Darnold and the Jets (4-10) took their first lead of the game on Elijah McGuire’s 2-yard touchdown run with just five minutes left. Darnold, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, made plays with his arm and legs during the impressive 15-play, 73-yard go-ahead drive as he converted three third-down plays and a fourth-down opportunity.
