The members of Saturday Night Live during the show’s first three seasons were referred to as the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players.” On Thursday at MetLife Stadium, only about nine miles from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where SNL is filmed, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson proved he too is not ready for prime time.
Wilson withered under the bright lights of a national spotlight on Amazon Prime and was benched in the second half in favor of Chris Streveler as the Jets fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-3. The loss makes it all but official that the Jets will not be going to the playoffs after starting the season 5-2 and will extend the league’s longest postseason drought, which will reach 12 seasons.
