The Jets had a really bad 10-3 loss on Sunday to the New England Patriots. There was a wild punt return touchdown by the Patriots in the final seconds of the game. There's nothing wrong with losing on the road in the NFL, even on a heartbreaking play like that.
Wilson has averaged 182.7 yards per game with a miserable 72.6 passer rating this season. He had 77 yards on 22 attempts and missed badly on many throws against the Patriots. The Jets have been winning, but they've done so by hiding their quarterback.
Some Jets defensive players were unhappy that Wilson didn't take much accountability after the loss. Rookie receiver Garrett Wilson ripped the offense and while he didn't mention Wilson by name, it's impossible to criticize the offense without implicating Wilson. Some defensive players liked tweets ripping Wilson, and you can decide if you believe their excuse that they liked those tweets on accident.
Wilson's struggles wouldn't be that big of a deal if the Jets were a losing team, as they were expected to be this season. They could just let Wilson work through his mistakes and then after the season evaluate what comes next. But they're pretty good. The defense has come along so fast they should feel like they can make the playoffs and even perhaps pull an upset with competent quarterback play. On Monday, Jets coach Robert Saleh wouldn't commit to Wilson starting this week, saying the team was "keeping everything on the table." Even if the Jets start Wilson on Sunday, patience is running out.
Whatever happens with Wilson beyond this season will be a long conversation for the offseason. The Jets need to worry about the present. The only thing that seems obvious is they aren't going to win much with this level of play from the quarterback, for the rest of this season or beyond.
All these things are true about the New York Jets:
• They are a rebuilding team.
• The success of their rebuild depends greatly on Zach Wilson, the second pick of the 2020 NFL draft, becoming a top-end quarterback.
• Their 6-4 start this season is well ahead of schedule, and while it is a great sign, the Jets are still in a multi-year build toward being a Super Bowl contender. They are a playoff contender, however.
• Wilson is not playing well enough for a team that is a playoff contender.
How do you reconcile all of that if you're the Jets? It's a situation the Jets can't ignore anymore after Sunday.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
