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 LeGarrette Blount 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 http://www.lionscheapstore.com/ricky-wagner-jersey-cheap , where Diggs picked it off.Darnold does have some company, at least. Jameis Winston had his first pass intercepted and returned for a 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. To say the Detroit Lions have been unpredictable would be a complete understatement. In our weekly FanPulse surveys—where we poll a select few of our readers—the consensus pick has been wrong every single week. They’re literally 0-5 and predicting the outcome of the Lions’ games, and they aren’t alone in having a hard time figuring out what’s going to happen on Sundays (or Mondays).Our entire staff right now is .500 or worse in predicting Lions games. Only Kellie Rowe and Andrew Kato have .500 records, but that’s likely only because they missed a week of picks. The majority of the staff sits at 2-3, which is admittedly a lot better than 0-5, but nowhere near where we want to be. And there are going to be a lot of wrong picks again this week http://www.lionscheapstore.com/t.j.-lang-jersey-cheap , because the staff is somewhat split in picking the Week 7 matchup between the Lions and Dolphins. This week, 10 of 15 staffers are picking the Lions, who are actually three-point favorites in Miami.
