Jets Star Garrett Wilson Criticizes Play-Calling Amid 0-6 Start

The New York Jets’ 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos dropped them to a 0-6 start, and their star receiver, Garrett Wilson, was not holding back his frustrations. The Jets and Broncos both had a lethargic offensive day, but one situation in particular led Wilson to criticize the team’s offensive play-calling. With just seconds left in the first half, the Jets had the ball, but rather than attempting a Hail Mary, they opted for a conservative approach. First-year offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, with quarterback Justin Fields, chose to run the ball and not attempt a long pass. Wilson expressed his disappointment, walking up to head coach Aaron Glenn after the game and explaining that he didn’t understand the plan. Fields admitted the Jets had a goal of not letting the Broncos end the half with the ball, but Wilson clearly felt that mindset was missing. He emphasized that the Jets needed to play with a ‘nothing to lose’ mentality, which he didn’t see. The Jets’ defense did have some opportunities, but the offense struggled, leading to a 246-yard performance by the Broncos. After the game, head coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged his team’s effort but admitted it wasn’t enough. The Jets are looking to break their losing streak when they face the Carolina Panthers at home next week.
