Record: 5-3
Week 8 result: Lost to the Patriots, 22-17
Week 9 opponent: vs. Buffalo Bills
Most important player for the second half of the season: Zach Wilson, QB.
Wilson needs to show some improvement over the Jets’ final stretch. In 18 career games, the second-year QB, taken with the second overall pick last year, has completed just 55% of his passes, thrown 12 touchdowns to 16 interceptions, and posted a passer rating of 70. His three-interception performance in Week 8 was concerning, especially in a year where the Jets defense is giving them a chance to win each week.
