Jets quarterback Joe Flacco started the season as the starter while Zach Wilson was injured but before past Sunday’s game he was demoted to third-string. He was made inactive for the game against the Patriots and Mike White was placed above him on the depth chart.

Ahead of the Week 9 game against the Bills, Flacco shared his reaction to the demotion.

“Of course I was surprised and I’m disappointed about it,” he told reporters Wednesday. “But at the same time, got to keep it about the team and try not to be a selfish guy and make my situation any more unique than anybody else’s situation in the locker room.
