The New York Jets’ Week 3 matchup with the Buccaneers came with a little extra heat thanks to a storyline that had nothing to do with the team's current season.
Shortly after Tampa Bay's 29-27 victory this past Sunday, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield told reporters the game was “personal” for him because he hadn’t forgotten how things ended in Carolina back in 2022.
At the center of it all was Steve Wilks, now the Jets’ defensive coordinator, who took over as the Panthers’ interim head coach that year after Matt Rhule was fired.
