Zach Wilson and Bill Belichick’s turn-of-the-century dynasties more or less grew up together: the New York Jets quarterback was a mere 18 months old when the New England Patriots shocked the world in the 36th Super Bowl.
The infant Wilson more than likely had no idea that he would be called upon to put an end to Belichick mastery. To put things in perspective, 22 Super Bowls have been staged since Wilson was born in August 1999. New England has partaken in nine of them.
“I feel like ever since I was a little kid and can remember watching Super Bowls, the Patriots have been a part of it,” Wilson said on Thursday.
