How often have we heard from NFL experts that this Jets season is all about one thing: Finding out who Zach Wilson is. Sunday’s showdown at AFC East rival New England will go a long way towards resolving that open question. Selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the 23-year old quarterback has been less than impressive in his first 19 professional starts. After finishing in last place in rbsdm.com’s composite expected points added per play/completion percentage over expected metric as a rookie, he has barely improved in Year 2, ranking 28th among 31 QBs with at least 200 plays this season. Many of his best games have been when he threw for fewer than 200 yards.
The 1986 Jets as the season progressed got hit with a ton of injuries to players like Klecko, Lyons, Mehl, Gastineau. Maybe they weren’t as good as their 10-1 start but they were better than their 10-6 record. Gastineau’s late hit on Kosar cost them an appearance in the AFC conference
Exactly--things happen. Even with the injuries to Breece, AVT, Davis, & the tackles, the Jets were mostly on the good side of fortune in the first half relatively speaking.
