The Jets’ first drive in Zach Wilson’s return was an ignominious three-and-out from inside their own five, but Wilson more than made up for it on their third possession.

Taking over at their own 22, the Jets gave it to Bam Knight for a five-yard run to end the first quarter, and then Wilson went to work, needing just two throws to get to the end zone – a 33-yarder to Garrett Wilson, and then a 40-yard strike to C.J. Uzomah for Wilson’s fifth TD pass of the season:

That was Wilson’s first TD pass over 10 yards this season as well, so a strong return for the former No. 2 overall pick who was inactive the last three weeks, but got the start Sunday when Mike White was ruled out with a rib injury.
