The New York Jets expected their offense to look vastly different with Sam Darnold returning in Week 6. After scoring just two offensive touchdowns prior to Sunday, Le'Veon Bell found the end zone for a one-yard touchdown versus the Dallas Cowboys:

On New York's second drive of the game, Darnold was able to lead the offense down the field into the red zone. Then, after a two-yard run by the second-year quarterback, Bell punched it in from a yard out.

While Darnold was out for the past month, the Jets have been unable to get much of anything going on offense. Now, with Darnold back under center, the Jets may put up a fight against a Cowboys team who sits atop the NFC East.

Without a doubt, there is a newfound momentum for the Jets and Bell with their young signal-caller taking the snaps. Additionally, the offseason acquisition of the Jets scored his second touchdown of the season on this play (first on the ground).
