As Robert Saleh described in his postgame presser, Zach Wilson’s performance against the Saints “wasn’t his cleanest game.” It’s a euphemism, for sure, but one much welcomed when talking about a rookie without his top-3 weapons.
Wilson, 22, faced a tough Saints defense without the help of Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, and Michael Carter, arguably the three best skill position players in the Jets offense. Tevin Coleman and Tyler Kroft also missed the game.
The losses of Davis, Moore, and Carter clearly impacted Wilson’s confidence. The Jets quarterback looked more hesitant than usual in Week 14.
