The quarterback carousel continues in New York as Zach Wilson has been benched yet again. This time it’s for Chris Streveler in the Jets’ 19-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday night at MetLife Stadium.
The boos had been pouring down as Wilson had been completely shut down by Jacksonville. Fans had been chanting for Joe Flacco to enter the game all night, but instead, they got Streveler.
Their wish was answered for a while, as Streveler led the Jets on a 73-yard drive, but it stalled out at the 13-yard line after a pass on fourth-and-two fell incomplete while the Jaguars continued to hold onto it’s 13-point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
Streveler, the Jets’ fourth quarterback to see action this season, was 3-for-5 for 41 yards on the drive and also rushed for 37 yards. With the rushes, he already leads the team in rushing yards. He finished the game 10-for-15 for 90 yards in the air and had nine carries for 54 yards.
Streveler, 27, authored some preseason heroics for the Jets. He completed 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner to Calvin Jackson with 16 seconds remaining in a 24-21 Jets win in a game in which Wilson left with a knee injury, forcing him to miss the first three games of the regular season.
