With just a little bit of offense, the Jets might have had a chance.īut a little bit of offense was too much to ask. The Jets’ defense actually wasn’t terrible against the dink-and-dunk Broncos attack. The result of that was a whole lot of nothing.
And the Jets weren’t going to let him try after what happened a week ago against New England. Wilson, in just his third NFL game and playing against a tough, Vic Fangio-coached defense, isn’t good enough yet to carry a team making so many mistakes around him. 1 receiver, Corey Davis, could hang on to the ball. The numbers actually would’ve been better if his offensive line had offered him even a little bit of protection and if his No. It’s hard to completely blame Wilson for this one, since Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur clearly pulled back the reins in the hopes of settling him down and having him play “boring.” He attempted just 19 of 35 passes for 160 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. In fact, they looked as bad on offense as they did at any point in the Adam Gase era.
