Coach Robert Saleh was leaning toward playing Zach Wilson in the Jets’ preseason finale, but that was long before a rainstorm accented by lightning wreaked havoc on the area.
The turf inside MetLife Stadium was under water and there were pockets of the field that was bubbling up almost to the size of a pitcher’s mound during the storm. The start of the game between the Jets and Eagles was delayed nearly 30 minutes.
