Overview
- The Jets lost 28-25 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and fell to 2-5 as Garrett Wilson was targeted just three times and finished with two catches for 26 yards.
- Broadcast cameras captured a heated sideline outburst by Wilson late in the fourth quarter that quickly went viral and focused attention on the offense’s struggles.
- Both Wilson and quarterback Geno Smith downplayed the exchange in postgame comments, saying they were collaborating and not arguing with one another.
- Head coach Aaron Glenn publicly took responsibility for Wilson’s limited role and said the game plan includes getting him more looks, even as rookie Omar Cooper Jr. has emerged with consecutive 100-yard games and tough matchups like Denzel Ward have drawn extra coverage.
- Local columnists and opinion writers have grown sharply critical of the Jets’ usage of a top-paid receiver, warning the pattern could damage team results or Wilson’s long-term relationship with the franchise and making target distribution a key thing to watch next.
