PATRIOTS 25 - JETS 6
For Zach Wilson, Sunday's game against the New England Patriots was the rude welcome to the NFL that was inevitable.
For Jets fans, it was like Groundhog Day. They have seen this before many, many times. In fact Wilson's four interceptions against New England put him in rarefied company with Sam Darnold and Mark Sanchez as quarterbacks who threw four picks in a single game their rookie year. The only outlier was Alex Smith with San Francisco in 2005.
Wilson tried too hard. He tried to squeeze a ball into triple coverage that was picked. Later he tired to hit Corey Davis down the sideline when he had Elijah Moore open in the flat, and instead overthrew Davis for the pick. The other two picks were airmailed. Even head coach Robert Saleh acknowledged that Wilson needs to play "boring football."
We know Wilson has the arm, but he needs to develop the poise to become a better and more accurate quarterback. Otherwise games like this on Sunday will continue. And that cannot happen.
