It might be a bit harsh calling what Braxton Berrios did, or didn\u2019t do, against the Vikings a drop, but those are the unforgiving rules of every given Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>If you get your hands on the ball, you need to catch it. Especially in the end zone, on the road, in the final minutes of a high-stakes <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s on me,\u201d Berrios said.<\/p>\n<p>White tried to take the blame for throwing the fourth-down pass a little behind his receiver, and credited Berrios for breaking the designed route to the outside and finding the soft underbelly of the defense on the inside. That\u2019s what a leader does. That\u2019s what a starting quarterback does.<\/p>\n<p>So when it was time to assess the Jets\u2019 fatal flaws in the red zone that gave the Vikings a 27-22 victory, White understood that his job \u2014 Zach Wilson\u2019s old job \u2014 required him to grab a mirror ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt starts with me,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to figure out how to put the ball in the end zone, and if we can do that I think we win the game today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A week after throwing three touchdown passes in a beatdown of the Bears, White found himself in the loud and hostile home of an entirely different brand of NFC North opponent. The Vikings entered the matchup 9-2 for a reason, and the visiting 27-year-old quarterback found out the hard way.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/2022-12-04T215336Z_2130789416_MT1USATODAY19563593_RTRMADP_3_NFL-NEW-YORK-JETS-AT-MINNESOTA-VIKINGS.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jets\" class=\"wp-image-24894362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/2022-12-04T215336Z_2130789416_MT1USATODAY19563593_RTRMADP_3_NFL-NEW-YORK-JETS-AT-MINNESOTA-VIKINGS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/2022-12-04T215336Z_2130789416_MT1USATODAY19563593_RTRMADP_3_NFL-NEW-YORK-JETS-AT-MINNESOTA-VIKINGS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike White watches from the ground during the Jets\u2019 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>White threw for 369 yards, but couldn\u2019t deliver any touchdown passes. He did find the end zone on a fourth-and-goal run that was ruled a score on review, but failed to finish on either of two late, frantic drives that could\u2019ve elevated his team\u2019s record to 8-4.<\/p>\n<p>But even in defeat, and even after throwing two interceptions (though both under extenuating circumstances), White only solidified his standing as the undisputed starter, and strengthened his bond with his teammates. Just listen to Garrett Wilson, a potential superstar in the making, who had this to say after catching eight passes for 162 yards, including a 60-yarder that nearly changed everything:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThat boy\u2019s a dog, man. That boy\u2019s a dog for real. He was out there controlling the huddle and \u2026 never letting the moment get too big. It was cool to see. \u2026 I know that I\u2019d go to war for that boy. He\u2019s got something special about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why some players boarded the Jets\u2019 plane Saturday wearing \u201cMike F\u2019n White\u201d T-shirts. That\u2019s why some players walked into U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday wearing \u201cMighty Ducks\u201d jersey, with White himself dressed up in a \u201cDucks\u201d Charlie Conway captain\u2019s jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Robert Saleh has to see what is h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening here. Nobody wants his quarterback forced to throw 57 passes by some uninspired play, some damaging penalties, and a 17-point deficit late in the first half. But facts are facts:<\/p>\n<p>White has now cleared 300 yards in three of his five starts, and probably would\u2019ve made that four out of five had he avoided an early injury in last year\u2019s Colts game. Wilson has cleared 300 yards only once in 20 starts. The game just looked harder to everyone in green when Wilson was on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Mike did a great job,\u201d Saleh said. \u201cThere was a little bit of some ups and downs like you normally would [have] in a football game; they\u2019re a good football team. But I thought he kept his composure, stayed within the game, and he made some big throws.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/1446736644.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jets\" class=\"wp-image-24894356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/1446736644.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/1446736644.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike White and the Jets lost to the Vikings on Sunday.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>White never quit on the outcome, somehow scoring on that fourth-and-goal run to cut the deficit to five points. After getting blasted on a third-down incompletion on the next drive, White fired a brilliant fourth-and-10 strike to Corey Davis for 31 yards. Given one final opportunity by the Jets\u2019 defense after the Berrios drop, White impressed his teammates with his poise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust him being in the huddle that last drive,\u201d said Garrett Wilson, who didn\u2019t want to reveal his quarterback\u2019s message. \u201cIt\u2019s not exactly what he said, but the way he said it. It didn\u2019t seem like he was stressed out by the situation. He doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019s worried or that it\u2019s on his mind. He feels like we\u2019re going to go out there and make those plays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan, it was fun to be out there to play with him today, to see how he went about his business. I\u2019m just sorry we couldn\u2019t get it done for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On fourth down in the final seconds, White had no choice but to let it rip down the middle. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to finish with the ball in my hands,\u201d he explained after Minnesota\u2019s clinching interception. So be it.<\/p>\n<p>Saleh gave White a fist bump as the two passed each other in the postgame interview room. As much as the coach wants to fix Zach Wilson, all White did Sunday was make that process a little more irrelevant.\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.
