Sauce Gardner faces perhaps his biggest NFL challenge this week when the New York Jets visit the Minnesota Vikings.

The New York Jets have achieved one of their goals this season. They will be playing meaningful football games in the month of December. But coach Robert Saleh claimed he’s not laser focused on the Jets making the playoffs for the first time since 2010. “Too much crap to do, man,” a laughing Saleh quipped […]

Justin Jefferson very well may be the most talented wide receiver in the NFL. But the New York Jets just may have the right dose of kryptonite to handle the Minnesota Vikings’ Superman this Sunday.

Robert Saleh is not about to anoint Mike White the No. 1 quarterback of the New York Jets. Even after a dynamic season debut by White in Week 12, the Jets coach left the door ajar for Zach Wilson to reclaim the top spot at some point this season. “This is Mike White’s opportunity, that […]

Garrett Wilson knew there was something different in how the New York Jets’ offense operated Sunday with Mike White at quarterback.

Mike White had the MetLife Stadium crowd chanting his name during the New York Jets’ 31-10 win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

There are likely many reasons that led the New York Jets to bench Zach Wilson this week.

Zach Wilson is being benched by the New York Jets for their Week 12 game Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Sauce Gardner landed on the New York Jets injury report Wednesday. And the bigger news is that hardly anyone noticed.
