Given his performance this season, Zach Wilson being benched isn’t a newsflash anymore. <\/p>\n
But the quarterback who came in for the New York Jets was a bit of a surprise. <\/p>\n
The Jets activated Chris Streveler prior to Thursday night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving the Jets three players at the position (Wilson and Joe Flacco, who was listed as the backup). <\/p>\n
Wilson’s struggles reached their apex in the third quarter, New York’s postseason hopes slipping with every dropback, and boos chorused through MetLife Stadium. Jets head coach Robert Saleh decided to give Streveler, the ex-Canadian Football League champion, a shot with his team down 16-3. <\/p>\n
The decision did not immediately change the Jets’ fortunes, but Streveler at least moved the Jets down the field before a turnover on downs and, more importantly, gave the home crowd who persevered through the rain and wind something to cheer about. <\/p>\n
Follow every game:<\/strong> Latest NFL Scores and Schedules<\/p>\n\n Streveler returned to the field after the Jaguars’ ensuing series fizzled. Wilson’s final line: 9-for-18 for 92 yards with one interception. He was sacked three times. <\/p>\n Though the Jets failed to score with him under center, Streveler nearly replicated Wilson’s passing line in a little over a quarter of work. He finished 10-for-15 for 90 yards, posting an 82.6 QB rating to Wilson’s 41.9. <\/p>\n The Jaguars won the game, 19-3. <\/p>\n
