Jets quarterback Zach Wilson understood where fans were coming from Thursday night when his bad performance ultimately led to his benching and a loss to the Jaguars.
When New York Jets quarterback
"We have a passionate fanbase, and they are here to watch us score touchdowns, and we are not scoring touchdowns. We’re not getting first downs, we’re not moving the ball. Obviously can’t throw the ball. So of course they’re going to be frustrated." The Jets came into Thursday night as a bubble AFC squad looking for a playoff berth. With just three games left, a win was needed.
Fans cheered when Streveler was able to get something going for the Jets, though it never resulted in points. Still, he was more productive than Wilson, throwing for 90 yards on 10 of 15 passing and rushing for 54 yards to lead the team on the ground in the loss. Head coach Robert Saleh defended his quarterback despite the struggles, saying"we haven't seen the last of him" and noting that Wilson technically wasn't benched in his eyes. The Jets were looking for a change of pace with Streveler's ability to run, and they stuck with that when offensive success finally came.
Mike White, who got the offense rolling in his three starts this season, though it only led to a 1-2 record, is still dealing with a rib injury.
