There are many forces standing in the way of a Jets win when they play the Vikings on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The first of those forces are the Jets themselves, given how clumsily they got in their own way during last Sunday’s hideous,They never put enough talent around him. They changed offensive coordinators. They changed head coaches. It all gave Darnold little chance to succeed in green because his three years with them were so chaotic.

Kevin O’Connell, Darnold’s head coach in Minnesota, was a groomsman in Sanchez’s wedding to actress Perry Mattfeld. O’Connell was a backup quarterback to Sanchez on the 2011 Jets. “He’s such a humble kid and such a mild-mannered kid that somebody also had to elicit that dog inside of him, because it’s there,’’ Sanchez told The Post this week. “He’s a competitor and he wants to win, but you got to stoke that fire a little bit.
For the first time, Darnold has players around him that are built to win. He has Justin Jefferson, one of the best receivers in the game, along with a strong offensive line, running game and a stout defense. “I just want to be in the situation where I have a chance, where I’m appreciated, where I’m pumped up and coached hard, where the team knows I’m the guy,’’ Darnold told Sanchez.
