New York Jets season on the line as Zach Wilson strives to be not only the savior of the Jets season, but the savior of the Jets Franchise.  The Jets look to win back-to-back games coming off of their best offensive performance of the year. 

Zach Wilson, one of the more scrutinized quarterbacks in the league, has an opportunity to really turn the tide on his career.  Not saying he needs to be perfect and obliterate the Miami Dolphins defense, but instead find a little consistency to prove that the Aaron Rodgers Reformation Project is working.   

The Dolphins are coming off an upset loss to the Tennessee Titans last week and are a bit shaken up.  Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is questionable for the game and their offensive line just lost their center for the season.

There is no question that the Jets defense will show up to the game ready to stall the track team in Miami; but will the Jets offense be able to compliment their defense this time around?

Last time these two faced off this season was at Metlife on the first NFL Black Friday game. Zach Wilson had just been benched the week prior in the second half against the Buffalo Bills.  Former Jets quarterback, Tim Boyle, took the starting job.  I say former because he was just recently cut from the team after the mess of a game against the Atlanta Falcons.  Last game, the Jets defense picked Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa twice, with one going back for six.  This effort stood for nothing as Boyle answered back...throwing an interception on a Hail Mary attempt, which was returned for a touchdown.  It went downhill from there on. 

After the short trial run of backup quarterback Trevor Siemian, the New York Jets flew back to Zach as the starter for the Houston Texans game.  Zach shocked New York, throwing for 301 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns.  Wilson, gaining confidence and finally support from fans, looks to hopefully replicate this performance and prove his naysayers wrong.
