Neither the New York Jets nor the New England Patriots will be watching film on Sunday’s performance as both offense were really bad. In a game that featured 17 punts, it took a last-second punt return touchdown to seal the 10-3 win for New England.
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson finished with 77 passing yards on just 9-of-22 completions. He was also sacked four times for 33 yards.
Jets rookie wideout Garrett Wilson couldn’t find any positivity after New York put up just 103 total yards on offense.
“This s* is not OK. Straight up, it is not OK,” Wilson said after the loss. “How many total yards did we have? That s* is not going to fly. We got the dudes. It’s time to be consistent. It’s time to win the games we should win.”
New York’s top pass catcher was Denzel Mims with two catches for 35 yards on six targets. Wilson finished with only two catches for 12 yards on three targets.
At 6-4 and 2-2 in the AFC East, the Jets remain very much alive in the hunt for both a playoff spot and the division title, but if teams are going to force them to throw the ball, they don’t have a chance in hell.

“Honestly, I feel like they gotta put more trust in the receiver room,” Wilson said. “We can go up and make plays, do things, and I don’t know if everyone feels that way, but hopefully by next week everyone feels that way.”
For the season, Wilson has 533 yards and two touchdowns.
Zach Wilson has thrown for 1,279, four touchdowns, and five interceptions.
