It got so bad for the New York Jets in their Thursday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home that they had to insert backup Chris Streveler into the game to replace the ineffective Zach Wilson.

Robert Saleh’s clock management in the final two minutes of Sunday’s 20-17 New York Jets loss to the Detroit Lions may not have been his finest moment with the New York Jets.

Robert Saleh wouldn’t commit to Zach Wilson starting for the New York Jets on Thursday but reiterated his faith in the young quarterback after a tough Week 15 loss to the Detroit Lions.

If Zach Wilson has learned anything this season with the New York Jets, it’s not to expect anything.

Zach Wilson will replace the injured Mike White at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday.

Mike White may not agree, but there’s one major reason why the quarterback is not starting for the New York Jets this week. He needs to be protected from himself. White was ruled out for the Jets game Sunday against the Detroit Lions because of a rib injury. The 27-year-old was cleared for practice by […]

Zach Wilson is back for the New York Jets. Though he won’t be starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions, the benched quarterback will be in uniform backing up Mike White. “We’re moving up Zach up to the No. 2 spot,” coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday. “Zach’s been doing great job, he has. He’s been deliberate […]

Robert Saleh has tons of high praises for New York Jets rookie Zonovan Knight, who has done nothing but impress since playing in his first game in Week 12. Knight–whose nickname “Bam” has everyone believing it’s because of his explosive runs on the field–has been a major revelation for the Jets in the past two […]

Watching Zonovan “Bam” Knight play for the New York Jets, you might’ve thought he earned his nickname with his powerful running style.

The New York Jets were undeniably horrible in Week 11, which was when they lost to the New England Patriots on the road, 10-3.
