You never know what you\u2019re going to get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belichick is notoriously tough on young, inexperienced quarterbacks. Two years ago, Sam Darnold, then the Jets\u2019 second-year quarterback, was intercepted four times in a lopsided loss on \u201cMonday Night Football.\u201d That wasn\u2019t even the most embarrassing part of the evening. Darnold, wearing a microphone, was heard on national TV saying he was \u201cseeing ghosts.\u201d Darnold, who knocked off the Jets and Wilson last Sunday in his first game with the Panthers, never beat the Patriots, going 0-3 and throwing just one touchdown pass. The Jets last defeated New England six years ago, and have lost 10 straight to Belichick\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/gangs-all-here\/joshmccowntalksnflcareer-jets-zachwilson?accentColor=2a2a2a&amp;bgColor=f6f6f6&amp;font-family=proxima%20nova&amp;logo=false&amp;secondaryColor=cc3333\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n        <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Wilson will be the latest Jets quarterback hoping to get the better of Belichick. Some have had success. Mark Sanchez once beat the Patriots in the playoffs and Geno Smith defeated them as a rookie. That, of course, was a long time ago, and the Jets were significantly better then.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Wilson gave the Jets reasons for optimism in the opener, shaking off a poor start to finish well in a 19-14 road loss. Despite the sacks, the 10 times he was hit and 11 pressures that tested his resilience, he threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes and ended the day 20-for-37 for 258 yards. He had a solid 82.9 quarterback rating though he was pressured in some fashion on 62.8 percent of his dropbacks. After the game, Wilson said it felt like he got hit by a truck and he was dealing with a \u201clittle whiplash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The offensive line came under fire after the performance, but Wilson took responsibility, too. He needs to improve, and he wasn\u2019t talking about his passing statistics. He faulted himself partly for the beating he took. He occasionally held the ball too long, in particular on his first sack. Wilson said he should\u2019ve read the blitz better and found his running back in the flat. There also are other ways he can help the offensive line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes hand-in-hand and so, that\u2019s kind of why it\u2019s a little bit skewed as far as six sacks is all on the O-line,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely team-wide and, for one, me just getting the ball out quicker, understanding that those guys are all teeing off up front and how can I just help those guys out and get the ball out of my hands [is important].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson said the Jets have adjustments they can make to ease the pressure he will face on Sunday. Belichick will no doubt adjust to whatever they do and the young quarterback can\u2019t wait to see what his second NFL game will bring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really just enjoy the challenge of this,\u201d he said. \u201cOur job is never the same, every single day we\u2019re always looking at something new. I think that\u2019s going to be the exciting part for this week. It\u2019s going to be fun.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
