Zach Wilson did not look reluctant Sunday.

The quarterback led the Jets to a surprising 30-6 victory over the Texans on a rainy Sunday at MetLife Stadium after a week when his desire to play was questioned.

Wilson looked decisive and elusive and completed 27 of 36 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns.

After a scoreless first half, the Jets exploded for 30 points in the second.

It was the offense the Jets envisioned after losing Aaron Rodgers with young stars Wilson, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall leading the way.

“The second half, I thought Zach probably played the best game of his career,” coach Robert Saleh said. “Just the off-schedule stuff, the timing and rhythm and getting the ball out to where it needed to get to. Being aggressive but smart at the same time. … He’s out there having a good time. He made a lot of things happen that weren’t there, so hats off to him. I thought he was outstanding today.”

The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Jets and moves their record to 5-8 with four games left.

The offense scored three touchdowns for the first time all season.

The 30 points were more than the Jets scored in their previous three games combined.

The Jets switched back to Wilson after two weeks of Tim Boyle.

The Athletic reported that Wilson was reluctant to start, which he denied.

Whatever happened, Wilson looked like a different quarterback Sunday than we’ve seen for most of his career.

He moved well to escape the pass rush and did not hesitate when making passes.

It was the third 300-yard passing game of his career, the first with no interceptions.

“I think the word I gave you guys about being aggressively smart is the key, right?” Wilson said. “It’s taking shots when you feel like there’s an opportunity there and when there’s not, how can you protect the ball and check it down. Having a mixture of both.”

The Texans (7-6) are fighting for a playoff spot but their offense did nothing against the Jets’ defense.

Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud entered the game leading the NFL in passing yards, but the Jets flustered him and he struggled with his top two receivers and No. 1 tight end all out with injuries.

Stroud finished 10 of 23 for 91 yards. He exited in the fourth quarter with a possible concussion after his head hit the turf.

It looked like another dismal day for the Jets’ offense in the first half.

There were 11 combined punts in the first half and just 10 combined first downs as neither team scored.

The Jets flipped things around to open the second half, going 75 yards on seven plays on the opening drive of the third quarter. T

he key play was a third-and-12 conversion when Wilson avoided pressure and rolled to his left and then threw across the field to Garrett Wilson for the first down.

Zach Wilson then connected with Randall Cobb for a 15-yard touchdown, the Jets’ first touchdown in two weeks, to put them up 7-0.

Garrett Wilson finished with 108 receiving yards on nine catches.

He praised Zach Wilson afterward.

“He balled, he balled,” Garrett Wilson said. “Put it all out there, throwing dots in the rain and those things mess with what they were trying to do on offense. As far as what we were trying to do, Zach handled it and that is always our goal, handle it better than them and we did. Zach went crazy today, like I said, he has got all the faith in us in the world. It is great to see him and then just hoop.”

The Jets had only scored two offensive touchdowns in a game all year before Sunday and that came back in Week 4 against the Chiefs.

But on Sunday they scored touchdowns on back-to-back drives with Xavier Gipson scoring a 9-yard rushing touchdown to give the Jets a 14-0 lead.

Zach Wilson was rolling but he did have a costly mistake near the end of the third quarter.

He scrambled for 20 yards around midfield but fumbled when Christian Harris punched the ball out.

Texans defensive tackle Khalil Davis recovered at the Houston 43. It was Wilson’s sixth lost fumble this season.

The Texans took advantage and marched down the field and into Jets territory for the first time all game.

Safety Tony Adams was called for pass interference in the end zone, giving the Texans the ball at the 1-yard line and Devin Singletary scored from there.

Kicker Matt Ammendola, a former Jet, missed the extra point to keep the Jets’ lead at 14-6 at the end of the third quarter.

It looked like the Jets could blow their lead, but then the offense answered with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Wilson throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to Breece Hall to extend the lead to 21-6.

Greg Zuerlein added three fourth-quarter field goals to make it a blowout win.

Hall had 126 yards from scrimmage, including eight catches for 86 yards and the score.

Now the Jets have to show this was not a mirage and make something out of their final four games.

It all starts with the quarterback.

“I thought he had great balance today. He was aggressive but he was smart,” Saleh said. “Taking the checkdowns when he could, being calculated with his opportunities. He was outstanding. Hopefully, he can find ways to build off this one.”
