EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—The path to get to the point was anything but predictable, yet here we are. The top two picks of the 2021 NFL draft are set to stare one another down on Thursday Night Football.
Zach Wilson will get the call for a second-straight game, courtesy of Mike White’s rib injury, in a near-do-or-die spot as it pertains to the New York Jets‘ 2022 NFL playoff hopes. Of course, Trevor Lawrence is set to lead the surging Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that has potential slim tournament designs of their own at 6-8.
