Jets deflect blame from Zach Wilson after 3-interception day

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The New York Jets' first game without Aaron Rodgers was a disaster, as quarterback Zach Wilson threw three interceptions in a 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Afterward, the Jets rallied around Rodgers' replacement with confidence-building words and gestures.

In the locker room, wide receiver Garrett Wilson put his arm around the young QB and gave him words of encouragement. The three tight ends were there too, showing support. It was a telling scene, as the Jets (1-1) made it a point to not cast any blame on their former starter-turned-backup.
