Sunday's Jets-Patriots game will be the second matchup between rookie QBs Zach Wilson and Mac Jones, both who were drafted in the first round of April's draft.
Wilson struggled against the Patriots in Week 2, throwing 4 interceptions and 0 touchdowns while completing 57.6% of his passes. He was also sacked four times. Over his past two games, the No. 2 overall pick has been sacked three times while completing 60.6% of his passes. He's thrown for 489 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
"He's as even-keeled as they come," WR Braxton Berrios told reporters Monday. "And you respect that more than anything, especially being in this market where obviously for anybody it's a tough market to be. But for a quarterback, and then a rookie quarterback at that, you can kind of only imagine the things that go through his head or come across his desk and all these things. You never see a difference in him whether it's after the Tennessee game or after the Atlanta game, or after the first New England game. Whichever it is, you don't see a difference in him. He really has taken everything in stride. That's somebody you want to play for and we're all behind him. We're just looking to get back out there."
Jones, on the other hand, completed 73.3% of his passes against the Jets (22 of 30) for 186 yards. The No. 15 overall pick did not throw a touchdown and did not turn the ball over. Jones, however, has thrown at least one interception in each of his four games since Week 2.
