There were two ways to look at Zach Wilson versus the Jets’ first-team defense under the lights Saturday night at MetLife Stadium.
On the one hand, the rookie quarterback wasn’t that impressive in the Green and White scrimmage. On the other hand, the defense was.
Linebacker C.J. Mosley made an interception off a deflection by safety Lamarcus Joyner. Slot corner Javelin Guidry also picked off a Wilson pass. The second overall pick went just 11-for-24 for 112 yards — although there were a few drops — and he produced only three points on seven drives.
"I think the defense came out and they were playing very fast, especially up front," coach Robert Saleh said.
