On the surface, the Buffalo Bills’ defense seems like a daunting matchup for New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. Buffalo leads the NFL in interceptions per game (1.6) and has allowed the third-lowest passer rating to opposing quarterbacks (73.8). Wilson has the second-lowest passer rating among qualified quarterbacks this season (71.0).
It’s impossible for Wilson to enjoy success in this one, right?
Well… maybe not. Hear me out.
Don’t get me wrong, this is undoubtedly a David-versus-Goliath matchup. Succeeding against Buffalo’s elite defense will be difficult for the struggling Wilson no matter how you slice it.
