Zach Wilson’s performance against the Dolphins is proof that box score stats shouldn’t be considered when analyzing quarterback play.
Wilson, who completed 13 of 23 passes for 170 yards, played much better than the stat sheet indicates.
Despite not making many flashy plays through the air, the New York Jets’ young quarterback showed improvement.
Wilson looked more poised and decisive, and he had better short game accuracy than in previous weeks. He did that against a tough Dolphins defense, too – an aggressive squad that gives quarterbacks all sorts of trouble.
Regardless of the stat sheet, Wilson had one of his best games of the season, hitting the layups and occasionally showing his ability to make off-schedule plays.
