Zach Wilson had a window for a win, and after a week of never-ending questions about his status as the starting quarterback, after 10 weeks of adjusting on the fly once Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles, after three years of inconsistent football that made his No. 2 overall pick label seem far from justifiable, a chance was all he could ask for.

He might not get many more of them. Robert Saleh keeps defending him, but at some point, the Jets need a win. Probably six or seven. Still, with the Jets needing a touchdown to win against the Raiders on Sunday, Wilson made throws that flashed potential — or at least the makings of a competent offense. And then Las Vegas linebacker Robert Spillane cut in front of Wilson’s throw at the 14-yard line. That was the chance, that was the drive for Wilson to change his Jets reality, and all that resulted was a reminder of how much of an illusion a last-second win might’ve created.

The Jets were close to fixing everything, and then they weren’t.

Their margin of error has become so small that one defensive touchdown is enough to lose. The five or six seconds that Robert Saleh let tick off before calling his final timeout with 13 seconds remaining didn’t help, either. That’s what happened Sunday in their 16-12 loss to the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, which dropped them under .500 (4-5) again. Wilson was almost serviceable — completing 23-of-39 passes for 263 yards and that back-breaking interception — until he wasn’t. The Jets were on the verge of a spark until a final Hail Mary bounced away and they didn’t ignite one.
