Robert Saleh told Zach Wilson two weeks ago, "It’s OK to play a boring game of football." On Sunday, Wilson did anything but that, and it resulted in the best day of the quarterback’s brief NFL life.
"It wasn’t boring today," receiver Corey Davis said after the Jets’ 27-24 overtime victory over the Titans at MetLife Stadium, Wilson’s first victory as a pro and Saleh’s first as a pro head coach.
Before we go any further, it should be noted that both Saleh and Wilson argued there was some boringness to Wilson’s game, in the sense he was smarter with the ball than he had been in his first three outings.
