Zach Wilson is officially starting for the Jets’ matchup vs. the Cowboys on Sunday after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in the team’s season opener on Monday.
The young quarterback is coming off a tumultuous year with the Jets, though, after tensions between him and other players, along with poor performance, caused him to be benched for various games during the 2022 season.
The tension in the locker room was sparked by Wilson’s comment after the team’s game vs. the Patriots last season when the quarterback was asked if he thinks he let the defense down, to which he immediately said “no.” Coming from the leader of the offense, the lack of accountability frustrated some of his teammates.
