The majority of Wilson's yardage came on a 29-yard catch on the game's third-to-last play, after which the Jets spiked the ball with one second left to set up a Hail Mary that bounced off Randall Cobb's hand. Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards, but at least Garrett led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The second-year wide receiver has also accounted for two of the Jets' three offensive touchdowns through three weeks, and Wilson should continue to work as the top option in New York's underwhelming passing game in Week 4 against the Chiefs.

The majority of Wilson's yardage came on a 29-yard catch on the game's third-to-last play, after which the Jets spiked the ball with one second left to set up a Hail Mary that bounced off Randall Cobb's hand. Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards, but at least Garrett led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The second-year wide receiver has also accounted for two of the Jets' three offensive touchdowns through three weeks, and Wilson should continue to work as the top option in New York's underwhelming passing game in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Wilson had the wind knocked out of him in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, but he didn't sustain any form of serious injury. He caught two of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to leaving the field. With another tough defense on deck Week 3 when the Jets take on the Patriots, though, Wilson could be primed for another matchup in which Zach Wilson struggles to get the ball in his hands consistently.
Wilson checked himself out of the game and went into the blue medical tent after consulting with trainers along the sideline. He was taken to the locker room in the final minutes of the blowout loss, in which Wilson scored New York's only touchdown on a 68-yard catch and run. Per Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media, head coach Robert Saleh said after the game that Wilson had the wind knocked out of him and should be fine moving forward. Zach Wilson struggled to get Wilson the ball against a tough Dallas defense. Despite opening the season on a two-game touchdown streak, Wilson will have a low touch floor in Week 3 against the Patriots, even if his injury doesn't lead to additional missed time.
