Zach Wilson was a different man on Monday Night.
Neither New York Jets fans nor any other fan base had seen him play as well as he did during his short career. he actually outplayed Patrick Mahomes in a game where many thought it would be a massive blowout.
Wilson totaled 245 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions on 28 of 39 passing for a 105.2 passer rating. Sunday night marked the first game of Wilson’s career in which he had multiple passing touchdowns and no interceptions in a game. He was taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Keep in mind, that CJ Stroud, who was drafted No. 2 in 2023, has already had three of those types of games.
So what got into Wilson?
Social media thinks it was not only because Taylor Swift was watching but just more women in general.

Opposite of Wilson — Mahomes threw for 203 passing yards while also accumulating a touchdown and two interceptions on 18 of 30 passing for a 63.6 passer rating.
Those statistics led to Wilson being the first quarterback to have more completions, more passing yards, more passing touchdowns, and fewer interceptions than Mahomes in a game opposite the two-time Super Bowl champion across his 127 starts in college and the NFL, according to OptaStats.
It’s clear what the Jets must do and that is put a bunch of attractive women in the stands for every home and away game so Zach Wilson continues to play like this.
