The New York Jets became the Baltimore Ravens' latest victim on Thursday night, falling by a score of 42-21 in their Week 15 matchup.

However, quarterback Sam Darnold thinks that the Jets actually had an opportunity to make things competitive early on.

“Especially in the first half, we had a chance,” said Darnold, according to Randy Lange of the Jets' team website. “It just got away from us. If we executed better … so many ifs … if we just played better, if I had back some throws that I missed, it could've been a whole different game.”

New York was in the game for a brief moment in the second quarter, when Jamison Crowder caught a four-yard touchdown pass from Darnold to cap an eight-play, 63-yard drive that brought the Jets to within 13-7.

But the Ravens then answered with a six-play, 75-yard touchdown drive of their own and completed a two-point conversion to take a 21-7 lead. From that point on, it was all downhill, featuring a crucial red-zone interception by Darnold as the first half was coming to a close.

“I mean, whenever we get in the red zone and we don't come away with points, especially if I turn the ball over, it's never good.” Darnold said. “Especially against a team like that.”

The Jets' defense was able to hold fairly well through much of the third quarter, but a couple of Baltimore scores in the latter half of the period salted the game away.

“Yeah, whenever you lose a game, especially in the fashion we did, every man in here should by sad, frustrated, unhappy, all those words,” said Darnold.

New York is now 4-10 on the season.
