So, is Zach Wilson now the fourth-best quarterback on the Jets?
Wilson, the would-be franchise quarterback, was benched in the third quarter of Thursday’s 19-3 loss to the Jaguars in favor of Chris Streveler, a former Canadian Football League quarterback who spent the entire season on the practice squad until Thursday night.
The vaunted defense? Well, they gave up a 96-yard touchdown drive and Jaguars coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence toyed with them all night long. Jets coach Robert Saleh stuck with Wilson for two drives in the second half and then pulled him for Streveler. The star of the preseason for the Jets energized the Jets with a run of 6 yards to start. He found Elijah Moore for a first down, then hit C.J. Uzomah for a 30-yard gain. He ran for 14 yards and then 10 on third-and-9. He connected with Garrett Wilson on fourth-and-4 for a first down.
The Jets started off the game with a big play on defense. Quinnen Williams, in his return from a calf injury, had a strip sack of Lawrence on the first drive of the game. Carl Lawson recovered for the Jets and the Jets got the ball at the Jacksonville 16. The Jets went backwards when Wilson did not see Jaguars safety Andre Cisco blitzing off the edge. Cisco sacked Wilson for an 8-yard loss and Greg Zuerlein kicked a 37-yard field goal to give the Jets a 3-0 lead.
The Jaguars went on a monster drive that spanned the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second. They got the ball at their own 4 and went 96 yards on 16 plays with Lawrence scoring from the 1 when he jumped up and over the Jets defense and extended the ball for a 10-3 lead.
