FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Four months ago, new Jets quarterback Luke Falk was unemployed.
On Sunday, he’ll be leading the team against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots up in Foxboro, Mass.
That’s quite the task for your first NFL start.
Six teams will go into Week 3 with a backup quarterback. The Jets’ starter is the most unheralded, but that’s nothing new to Falk.
“It has been a been a bit of a whirlwind, but it’s starting to slow down. I’m just excited for the opportunity. I just want to go out there and do my job,” Falk told CBS2’s Steve Overmyer on Thursday at the team’s practice facility.
