Jets quarterback Mike White returned to the starting lineup in last Sunday’s win over the Bears.
And for now, he’s here to stay.
The primary backup, with the inactive Zach Wilson looking on from the sidelines, threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns against Chicago. With the entire AFC East competitive, the game was a must-win. And White got the job done and the Jets’ receivers finally earned the quarterback play they’ve deserved.
But this Sunday, he’ll have another NFC North challenge, and a more significant one at that. The Jets travel to Minneapolis to face star wideout Justin Jefferson and the 9-2 Vikings.
