3. Zach Wilson under fire
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has already helped lead his team to a four-game win streak this season, which could have been five if they beat the Patriots on Sunday. However, Wilson struggled against New England by throwing three interceptions. The QB led the Jets to just two TDs last week on 12 offensive drives. Before that game, Wilson had thrown just two interceptions, which tied for the second lowest number in the NFL.
In addition to his struggles against the Patriots, Wilson has also had a tough time connecting with his playmakers. He is completing only 54.9% of his passes, has a passer rating of 71 and has only thrown three touchdown passes, all of which rank second worst in the NFL.
One reason why the Jets saw a burst of success during their win streak was because of running back Breece Hall. In those four wins, Hall had 351 rushing yards, 468 scrimmage yards and four rushing touchdowns, which all ranked top 5. Hall unfortunately suffered a knee injury against the Broncos and will miss the rest of the season, according to Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
While Wilson's stats may not back it up, Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier believes he's athletic enough to extend plays.
"His ability to be able to make plays outside the pocket, that really stresses defenses." Frazier said. "That's a plus for him. He's got the arm talent to make all the throws. You see his ability with his mobility as well as his ability of being able to get the football down the field, and when you have a good run game along with what he can do throwing the ball, you have a chance to really have a well-rounded quarterback."
