Sam Darnold was quick on the draw when asked if there's a statistic he'd like to improve in his third NFL season.
"Completion percentage," he said. "I'm always looking to improve completion percentage. I don't get super into the statistics of what's going on. The biggest stat is the win column, but I do feel like if I get my completion percentage up, we'll see more wins on the table."
Darnold completed 61.9% of his passes last season compared to 57.7% as a rookie in 2018.
The Bills, who host the Jets on Sunday, have one of the league's best defenses -- they finished No. 3 in total defense and No. 4 against the pass, allowing 195.2 yards per game in 2019.
Darnold, however, has completed 66.3% of his passes in three games against Buffalo, two of them in Orchard Park, NY. The Buffalo defense has several returning players on defense and features two Pro Bowlers – CB Tre'Davious White, who led the NFL with 6 interceptions in 2019; and LB Tremaine Edmunds. Even though Darnold and the Jets are familiar with defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier's scheme, they don't have new tape to study because there were no preseason games.
"It is what it is," Darnold said. "For us it's looking at the games they recently played and then looking at the games we played against them. There's some tape there. [Bills Head Coach] Sean McDermott and those guys, Coach Frazier over there, they're going to have their guys ready to play. We just have to be ready, which we will be. We're looking forward to the challenge."
