Jets' Zach Wilson faces boyhood idol Aaron Rodgers after 'eye-opening' win

GREEN BAY -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Cheesy matchup: Quarterback Zach Wilson, a self-proclaimed "fanboy" when he met Aaron Rodgers for the first time a year ago at joint practices, can't afford to be starstruck when he meets up again with his boyhood idol Sunday at Lambeau Field. This time, Wilson doesn't need an autograph as much as he needs a signature win.

Wilson outplayed rookies Skylar Thompson and Kenny Pickett in his first two starts of 2022, demonstrating signs of maturation, but now it's about to get real.
