Plane Banner Trolling Sam Darnold Flies Above Stadium Before Jets-Jaguars Game
By Michael Luciano
New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is still dealing with the aftermath of his dubious "seeing ghosts" comment, and Jacksonville Jaguars fans are showing him no mercy ahead of their matchup this Sunday. A Jaguars fans took to the skies to troll Darnold, professing that standout rookie passer Gardner Minshew hasn't seen any ghosts all season long.

While the return of Nick Foles could pose some questions as to if Minshew will remain the starter, he has been nothing short of astonishing this season. The sixth-round pick out of Washington State is a favorite to win the Offensive Rookie-of-the-Year award, and is outpacing both Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones this year with 10 touchdowns against just two picks. Minshew is the only player in NFL history with two or fewer picks on 200 or more attempts.
His counterpart, meanwhile, had a 3.6 passer rating and turned it over five times last week.
QB @GardnerMinshew5 is currently the only player in NFL history w/ 200+ pass attempts (226) and two-or-fewer INTs (2).

Also becomes the first player in NFL history to throw for 10+ TDs with two-or-fewer INTs through seven career games. @Jaguars
Darnold better throw for 300 yards and three scores today, otherwise this "ghosts" comment is going to stick with him until the end of time.
