The New York Jets’ defense held the New England Patriots’ offense without a touchdown in Week 11. But they still left Foxborough with a loss because their offense could only muster three points on the road against an AFC East rival.
At the center of that storm was second-year quarterback Zach Wilson, a player whose inability to develop into a franchise cornerstone threatens to derail a promising roster. Wilson, for the second time in two games against the Patriots, completed fewer than half his passes. He threw for 77 yards and led an offense that gained a total of -5 yards in the second half. It was all very embarrassing, but Wilson doesn’t feel like he let a stellar defense down.
