NY Jets vs. New England Patriots, Week 2 preview: Rookie QBs on display

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—It’s Zach Wilson time, again, after his impressive debut against the Carolina Panthers in the face of near-impossible odds—especially in the first half. What makes Week 2 of the New York Jets‘ 2021 NFL schedule is that it’s also another rookie’s time.

His name is Mac Jones, and he’s coming off an impressive NFL debut as well.

Completing 29 of 39 passes for 281 yards and a touchdown wasn’t good enough for the New England Patriots in Week 1. The upstart Miami Dolphins knocked off Bill Belichick‘s team, 17-16.
