BACK TO BACK STELLAR PERFOMANCES FROM THE 21 YEAR OLD!


The New York Jets (2-3) led by quarterback Sam Darnold face the Indianapolis Colts (1-4) in an AFC matchup in NFL Week 6.



Jason Myers kicked a franchise-record seven field goals, Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes, and the New York Jets held on to beat the Indianapolis Colts 42-34 on

Sunday to win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year.


Morris Claiborne returned the first of three interceptions thrown by Andrew Luck for a touchdown as the Jets (3-3) moved to .500 by taking advantage of mistakes by the short-handed Colts (1-5), who lost their fourth straight.


Myers hit field goals from 30, 48, 32, 37, 45, 37 and 45 yards to break the Jets record.


Trailing 13-10 in the second quarter, the Jets forced a turnover when Jamal Adams knocked the ball out of Robert Turbin's hands and Jordan Jenkins recovered.


New York took advantage of another turnover by Indianapolis to add to its advantage. Luck's pass to Ryan Grant deflected off the receiver's hands and right to Avery Williamson.


After Myers' 48-yarder, the Colts went three-and-out and the Jets got the ball at their 28 with 42 seconds left before halftime. Darnold hit a series of passes and, with 18 seconds left, found Kearse in the middle of the field for 23 yards. Myers booted a 32-yarder as time expired to put New York up 23-13.


Darnold came out firing to open the second half, scoring on a terrific play design which ended in a Chris Herndon for a 32-yard touchdown. It was the first TD of the rookie tight end's career.


After Myers' 37-yarder, the Colts came right back, to shorten the lead to 33-27 just 8 seconds into the fourth quarter.


Myers added a 45-yarder, giving the Jets scores on six straight possessions, helping the New York Jets get back to .500.
