EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After every game, win or lose, Zach Wilson ventures over to the defensive side of the New York Jets' locker room, where he checks in with the guys on the other side of the ball -- a veteran move by the rookie quarterback. On Sunday, he delivered a mea culpa.
"I have to do better," Wilson told them, according to linebacker C.J. Mosley.
Wilson's message was well received, one of the few times all day he made a short-area connection.
It wasn't a good day for the Jets' hope for the future, who completed a season-low 45% of his passes in a 30-9 loss to the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium.
