Jets backup quarterback Zach Wilson had an unexpected role in Monday night’s win over the Bills following Aaron Rodgers’s injury to his Achilles.
Wilson was back under center, returning to the spot he occupied for 22 games over the last two seasons. The former No. 2 overall pick completed 14-of-21 passing attempts for 140 yards and a touchdown to emerging star wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
After the Jets completed an impressive comeback against the Bills, emerging with a 22-16 victory, the signal-caller spoke about the unbelievable catch made by Wilson, whose third-quarter touchdown proved to be a pivotal one.
