Yesterday, the New York Jets dropped an ugly 25-6 contest to the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium with the packed venue taking the time at one point to boo struggling rookie quarterback Zach Wilson in his home debut. Was Wilson the main culprit in the team’s loss as he threw four interceptions? Certainly.
However, it’s fair to say that the absurd vitriol directed at the draft’s second overall pick after less than one full home game had more to do with the futility Jets fans have endured in recent years than yesterday’s loss on its own.
The Jets are currently owners of the NFL’s longest playoff drought at ten miserable years.
