What happened: Garrett Wilson opened Sunday's matchup with a 31-yard catch-and-run on the first play from scrimmage. The reception provided an immediate chunk play to start the opening drive.

Why it matters: New York has firmly retained Garrett Wilson as its primary target, rejecting outside trade interest ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline despite entering Sunday at 2-5. Establishing their top receiver early remains central to stabilizing an offense looking to snap a two-game skid.

By the numbers: Wilson recorded 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns in seven games last season (2025) with the Jets.

What to watch: New York will look to capitalize on the explosive start and finish the opening drive with points.
