“Zach Wilson Is Not That Guy”- Fans React After Mike White Joins Patrick Mahomes as the Only Other Player With This Insane Stat

This weekend, the New York Jets secured an impressive 31-10 win over the Chicago Bears. While it was expected that the Jets would walk away with the win, it was the performance of Mike White that drew all the attention of the media. In his very first game for his new team, White completed 22 of 28 attempted passes, threw for 315 yards and completed three touchdowns. 

In the process, White equaled Patrick Mahomes in an insane record as pointed out on Twitter. As things stand, The last two QB with multiple games of 300 Pass Yards and 3 Pass TD in their first 4 starts, are Patrick Mahomes, and Mike White. When it comes to joining an elite list, it just does not get any better than this for White. 

Speaking on White’s performance, Robert Saleh said, “He did a great job,” head coach Robert Saleh told reporters following the game. “He didn’t need to be anybody but Mike White.”

Saleh continued, “We didn’t need to turn into the Greatest Show on Turf. We just wanted him to play within himself and play efficient, and I thought he did that. … Especially in the elements, like I said, he made the easy look easy. I thought he did a really good job with that.” The Jets sit at 7-4 and are in a decent spot for a Wild Card thanks to the Patriots loss on Thursday to the Vikings. 

A closer look at Mike White and his performance against the Bears 

Although White did perform brilliantly, he did so against the worst defense in the league. Therefore, a true test for White will be down the line when the Jets take on the likes of the Vikings, Bills and more.
