Jets face must-win vs. Jaguars: NFL Week 16 preview

The Jets have had a rough month. Poor play from Zach Wilson, a rib injury to Mike White, and a dreadful three-game losing streak have set the team back in the AFC Playoff race. The Jets are .500, the ninth seed in the conference, and the AFC East’s last-place team.

It’s desperation time in Florham Park. Thursday night’s matchup with the visiting Jaguars is a must-win.

With the season on the line, Wilson will have a major opportunity once again. He’s starting for the second straight game in the absence of White and will have another shot to snag a huge victory and solidify himself as the team’s starter moving forward.
