Report: Jets benching Zach Wilson after QB's awful game vs. Patriots

The Bill Belichick graveyard of NFL quarterbacks may have added another New York Jets tombstone.

Zach Wilson delivered another dreadful performance Sunday against the Patriots, completing just 9 of 22 passes for 77 yards in the Jets' 10-3 loss to New England. Wilson's lack of accountability after that performance apparently frustrated some of his Jets teammates, and head coach Robert Saleh said it was no guarantee Wilson would start in Week 12.

Now, it appears Wilson has officially lost his job, with players being informed Wednesday that the second-year quarterback won't start this weekend against the Chicago Bears, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
