The Jets offense has been downright pathetic since quarterback Sam Darnold went out with a bout of mononucleosis. Without Darnold, New York averaged scoring just more than a touchdown a game and lost all three games by more than two touchdowns. But the Jets most certainly are a different team with Darnold than without. In his one-plus season in the NFL, the Jets are averaging 21.7 points per game with Darnold and just 11.3 per game without.

How much will Darnold returning actually impact this game? Maybe not much. This is a Cowboys team that will hit the road looking to make everyone forget about their two straight losses after a 3-0 start. The losses were both somewhat close and against two of the best in the NFL (New Orleans and Green Bay), but Dallas doesn’t look nearly as strong after those two losses and looking in retrospect to who the Cowboys beat in Miami, Washington, and the Giants.
