Zach Wilson, the quarterback for the <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/nfl-team-detail\/NYJ\/home\">New York Jets<\/a>, was anxious to go up against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he first met Aaron Rodgers a year ago at joint practices, quarterback Zach Wilson dubbed himself a &#8220;fanboy.&#8221; He can&#8217;t afford to be star-struck when he sees Rodgers again on Sunday at Lambeau Field. This time, Wilson needs a signature victory more than an autograph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilson tried to play hero ball much too frequently last season, aiming to make a big play when a routine one would have done. Those games backfired rather than blowing up. Let&#8217;s go to the present: He has played well for five consecutive quarters, and in his last 13 possessions, he has led eight scoring drives.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson share a moment after the game <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9rf4blB7f8\">pic.twitter.com\/9rf4blB7f8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonFOX\/status\/1581740529200439296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only Wilson in the league has scored touchdowns by passing, rushing, and receiving.

In the comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, he &#8220;appeared like a man who could put the team on his back,&#8221; according to coach Robert Saleh. The Miami Dolphins were defeated in the opposite manner. According to Saleh, he served as the team&#8217;s &#8220;facilitator,&#8221; which is another phrase for a game manager. Maybe he learned something from that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Jets recorded their 4th win of the season after beating the Packers in Week 6.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More NFL news:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/super-bowl-winner-and-tv-personality-tony-siragusa-passes-away-aged-55\/\">Super Bowl winner and TV personality Tony Siragusa passes away aged 55<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/how-many-super-bowl-rings-does-rob-gronkowski-have\/\">How many Super Bowl rings does Rob Gronkowski have?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/deshaun-watson-has-settled-20-of-24-sexual-misbehavior-cases-filed-against-him\/\">Deshaun Watson has settled 20 of 24 sexual misbehaviour cases filed against him<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Follow our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/home\">NFL<\/a>\u00a0page for more key NFL updates and news<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach Wilson shared a moment with his idol Aaron Rodgers after their Week 6 clash on Sunday.
