Jets’ Garrett Wilson upset after poor first-half performance

NEWYou can now listen to PK Press Club articles!

New York Jets star wide receiver Garrett Wilson was apparently frustrated with the team and made it known to head coach Aaron Glenn early in the half against the Denver Broncos.

The Jets’ final drive was awkward and confusing as they called a fake punt to keep the drive alive, but took no major risks on the field. The 10-play, 31-yard drive ended with a short pass from Justin Fields to Josh Reynolds, and they failed to reach the line of scrimmage to break up another play.

The NFL Network broadcast showed Wilson animated as he spoke to Glenn before returning to the locker room. Wilson was only targeted twice in the first half. He made a two-yard catch. Denver had a 10-6 lead as the teams regrouped for the final two quarters of the game.

Fields had just five completions for 17 yards as the offense looked unbalanced. The Jets totaled 32 yards in the first half.

Wilson entered the game, which took place in London, as the team’s leading receiver. He had 33 catches for 382 yards and four touchdowns. The four touchdowns already matched the total he had in his rookie season, earning him the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

But New York’s play has remained sluggish since nearly eliminating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. The defense failed to get out of his way.

The Jets were looking for their first win of the season. The team was 19th in points scored and 20th in yards gained. The team was also 22nd in yards allowed and 31st in points allowed. New York’s point differential was minus-45.
