Could there be a quarterback controversy in New York after last week’s win? We’ll find out more shortly as the New York Jets (2-5) take on the Indianapolis Colts (3-5) on national television for Thursday Night Football.
In one of the biggest upheavals of the season, the Jets beat AFC No.1 seed the Cincinnati Bengals last week in a 34-31 thriller. Late 11 at the end of the 4th quarter, Mike White (playing in place of injured rookie Zach Wilson) led two touchdowns to seal the victory. With over 400 passing yards and three touchdowns, Jets fans are already clamoring for the Whites to take the starting spot to move forward. The solid defense of the Colts will be a good test for him Thursday night.
The Colts were on the other side of a game with the same score, losing 31-34 to the Titans in overtime. Quarterback Carson Wentz made a few questionable decisions late, including a left hand pass from his own end zone that resulted in a pick-6. Can the Jets force Wentz and the Colts to make worse decisions? Or will the Colts’ defense bring Mike White back to earth?
