Adam Gase elected to go for two, and Darnold rewarded his bold risk by scampering around in the backfield before floating a brilliant pass from about 20 yards away to Bell, who was waiting in the corner of the end zone.
Sam Darnold.

They might have started off a bit slowly, but Darnold and Bell finally found the end zone for the first time in 2019 in the third quarter.
