When one quarterback went down, another rose up to come up big in the clutch.
Granted, Chris Streveler’s late heroics will do nothing to soothe Jets’ fans concerns about Zach Wilson, who was forced to leave Friday night’s exhibition opener against the Philadelphia Eagles early with an injury on a scramble. But it did allow the Jets to escape Lincoln Financial Field with a 24-21 victory in their 2022 summer slate debut.
Streveler, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals, had two scores in the latter stages of the fourth quarter to earn the win.
Philadelphia’s offensive starters carved up the Jets’ premier defense to the tune of an 80-yard scoring match that took only seven plays.
