Maybe — just maybe — Robert Saleh was telling New York Jets fans a tiny smidgen of the truth.
Heading into the Jets-Chiefs game, I already had my day-after column partially formed in my mind. ‘Robert Saleh Continues to Gaslight Jets Faithful’ was my working title. After all, as an analyst, I felt gaslit. What I heard from the coach and what my eyes saw did not match. Here was the head coach insisting that my eyes were wrong.
After watching Zach Wilson play against the Chiefs, though, it’s plausible to me that maybe Saleh wasn’t gaslighting.
