Wilson and Lawrence will both be on display in an NFL stand-alone prime-time game for all to measure and judge on Thursday night.
For the 2021 season, Lawrence finished 359 of 602 for 3,641 yards, 12 TDs and an NFL-high 17 INTs and with a 3-14 record as the starter. Wilson was 213 of 383 for 2,334 yards with nine TDs and 11 INTs and a 3-10 record. Jets left tackle Duane Brown said he noticed a less tight and more “carefree’’ Wilson on the field Sunday.
It was, indeed, cool to watch Wilson roll left, set himself and rip that 40-yard touchdown pass down the right side of the field to tight end C.J. Uzomah. Those are the plays that tease Saleh and the Jets coaches, make them believe that the use of that No. 2 overall pick was the right thing to do.
