What a year this week has been for the New York Jets.
A metropolitan nightmare ensued on the turf of Lincoln Financial Field on Friday night. Not only was Zach Wilson intercepted on Gang Green’s opening possession against the hosting Philadelphia Eagles, but the second-year franchise quarterback was forced to leave the game with an apparent lower-body injury.
Wilson was forced into an early comeback effort after the Eagles jumped out to an early 7-0 lead courtesy of Dallas Goedert’s 22-yard touchdown grab from Jalen Hurts. He converted a nine-yard third down by finding Tyler Conklin for 10 on the third play of the drive, but a second down toss to Corey Davis was not as lucrative.
