GREEN BAY - With each passing game, Zach Wilson is showing he’s ready for regular-season action.
The New York Jets rookie quarterback was nearly flawless, leading three scoring drives in the four possessions he led. The Jets built a second-quarter lead and held on to beat the Green Bay Packers 23-14 on Saturday at Lambeau Field.
Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, was 9-for-11 for 110 yards and a pair of touchdown strikes to tight end Tyler Kroft.
Jets coach Robert Saleh liked the progress he saw from his first-year quarterback in front of over 78,000 fans in a hostile environment.
