Grading the Jets: Offense goes splat, especially on the line

OFFENSE: Zach Wilson made one mistake – a bad interception that he underthrew. Other than that, the rookie quarterback played well, all things considered. He was sacked six times, hit 10 times and ran for his life all game. His mobility and ability to make plays on the move were evident and helpful. He had 258 passing yards, two touchdown passes and ran for a two-point conversion. The offensive line clearly needs to be better, and losing Mekhi Becton, who suffered a knee injury, won’t help. The run game needs to be better. They totaled 45 yards rushing. An outside zone blocking scheme didn’t work on this day. Dynamic rookie Elijah Moore did nothing. He had one catch for minus-3 yards and couldn’t haul in a deep throw from Wilson that was definitely catchable.
