Zach Wilson and the Jets’ offense showed some life. Now they’ve got to prove it wasn’t just a fluke

Well, that certainly came out of nowhere.Touchdowns, third down conversions and scoring in the red zone were all on display by a New York Jets offense that had struggled to do much of anything all season. And it was Zach Wilson who led the way in the Jets’ 30-6 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, bouncing back from a benching and a tumultuous week by having perhaps the best game of his nearly three-year career.“I feel like that pressure that he’s been carrying just didn’t seem to be there,” said wide receiver Randall Cobb, who caught one of Wilson’s two TD passes. “And it was nice to see him just playing loose and free and having fun and going out there and slinging it around.”Wilson, who was benched for two games, was 27 of 35 for 301 yards while setting career highs with a 75% completion rate and a 117.9 passer rating.“He was awesome,” coach Robert Saleh said. “I felt like he was extremely decisive. He played fast. There were a lot of ‘oh crap’ moments whe...
