Robert Saleh defended rookie quarterback Zach Wilson and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur for the fourth-down play that cost the Jets a win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
Saleh said it starts with him and he takes responsibility for the miscommunication on how the fourth-and-2 play should have been run in Sunday’s 28-24 loss. Saleh praised LaFleur for calling a great game and Wilson for playing a great one.
