Jets’ Garrett Wilson frustrated with play calling in loss to Broncos
newYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New York Jets are 0-6, and their star receiver isn’t holding back his frustrations.
It was a lethargic day offensively for both the Jets and Denver Broncos, but one situation in particular prompted Garrett Wilson to weigh in on New York’s offensive play-calling in the 13-11 loss.
The Jets had the ball with just seconds left in the first half, and while it was strange to see them running with the ball, they at least had a Hail Mary opportunity before heading to the locker room. But that wasn’t the plan for first-year offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, as quarterback Justin Fields just looked to the sideline as the clock ticked down to zero.

Wilson was visibly angry, taking to head coach Aaron Glenn and seemingly speaking his mind after the Jets’ six-point first half. After the game, Wilson was asked about that moment.
“I didn’t know exactly what the plan was,” he told reporters via SNY. “Once I found out, I was disappointed.”

Fields added that Gates’ idea at that moment was “not to allow it.” [the Broncos] They finished the half with the ball.” New York was getting the ball early in the second half, and after being dominated on offense, they may have simply wanted to regroup in the locker room.
But Wilson clearly didn’t like the Jets’ mentality.
He explained: “We must not lose anything in terms of mentality.” “It should be obvious. We’re out there as players and it’s like ‘let’s go’. I feel like you should all see that. The fans and the media should be able to see that we’re playing like we have nothing to lose. I don’t think that was there today. We’re 0-6, man. Like, why?”
The Jets’ defense was giving the offense too many chances in London, stifling a potent Broncos’ offense led by quarterback Bo Nix. Denver had the only touchdown in this game, a pass from the Knicks to Nate Adkins in the first half.
Meanwhile, the Jets saw Fields have just 45 yards on 9-of-17 shooting, with Wilson having three catches for 13 yards. As a team, the Jets had a paltry 82 yards rushing to the Broncos’ 246 yards in the game.
“Our guys fought their offense,” head coach Aaron Glenn said after the game about his Jets. “It clearly wasn’t good enough.”
