Sam Darnold had nowhere to go but up after his first career snap.The rookie quarterback steadied himself quickly.Darnold threw an
interception on his very first NFL play
Youth Matthew Stafford Jersey , and Detroit's Quandre Diggs returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to give the Lions an early lead over the New York Jets
on Monday night. But by halftime, the Jets were up 17-10, and Darnold's debut
was looking a lot better.Darnold was 11 of 15 for 122 yards after two quarters.
That included a 41-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson in the second
quarter.Despite the promising start, the Lions were booed by the home fans
throughout the first half. Matthew Stafford threw two interceptions.Darnold was
drafted with the third overall pick this year, and he earned the start in the
season opener for the Jets. But his first throw looked ill-advised from the
moment it left his hand, floating toward the left sideline, where Diggs picked
it off.Darnold does have some company

touchdown in 2015. That was the first time a rookie's first throw was returned
for a TD since Brett Favre ??then with Atlanta ??in 1991. It’s the bye week,
which not only means it’s a good time to reflect on the Detroit Lions, but the
entire NFL. It’s been a pretty wacky season thus far, and outside of the Rams
and Chiefs, every team has looked pretty bad at, at least, one point in the
season. Expectations for each team seem to change week-to-week
Youth LeGarrette Blount Jersey , and some teams heading into the season as playoff contenders have shown some serious flaws and could be out of the race
soon. Take, for example, the Atlanta Falcons. Coming off back-to-back playoff
seasons, Atlanta was expected to be a serious contender in the competitive NFC
South. However, their defense has been a disaster and they’re just 1-4 through
five games.On the other end of the spectrum, teams like the Bengals, Browns
and... gulp... Bears have exceeded early expectations. Maybe the key this year
is to simply be an NFL team starting with the letter B... unless you’re the
Bills... or Broncos. Anyways
http://www.lionscheapstore.com/ricky-wagner-jersey-cheap , making preseason Super Bowl predictions are fun, but a complete crapshoot. Now
we know at least a little more about these teams, so let’s give ourselves
another shot. Today’s Question of the Day is:Who will play in Super Bowl 53 this
year?My answer: I’d love to say the Chiefs right now, but that defense is going
to catch up with them at some point. A more balanced team will come out of that
conference, and since I’m a very boring person that likes to make logical picks
rather than bold ones, I’m going to go with the Patriots. With Julian Edelman
back, their offense has already started to get back on track
http://www.lionscheapstore.com/t.j.-lang-jersey-cheap , and their defense will be adequate.In the NFC, I don’t know how you could pick
anyone that isn’t the Rams right now. Their defensive roster is a little beat
up, but still stacked. Their offense will continue being great with Sean McVay
as head coach and Todd Gurley punishing defenses. It’s rare that a team so hyped
in the offseason lives up to it, but the Rams are rolling right now and there’s
no end in sight. So give me Rams over Patriots.Your turn.Tweets from
