Jets turn to Chris Streveler after Zach Wilson flops again

The quarterback carousel continues in New York as Zach Wilson has been benched yet again. This time it’s for Chris Streveler.

The boos had been pouring down in MetLife Stadium as Zach Wilson had been completely shut down by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fans had been chanting for Joe Flacco to enter the game all night.

Their wish was answered for a while, as Streveler led the Jets on a 73-yard drive, but it stalled out at the 13-yard line after a pass on fourth-and-two fell incomplete while the Jaguars continued to hold onto a 16-3 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

Streveler, the Jets’ fourth quarterback to see action this season, was 3-for-5 for 41 yards on the drive and also rushed for 37 yards. With the rushes, he already leads the team in rushing yards.

Streveler, 27, authored some preseason heroics for the Jets. He completed 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner to Calvin Jackson with 16 seconds remaining in a 24-21 Jets win in a game in which Wilson left with a knee injury, forcing him to miss the first three games of the regular season.

Streveler, who played college ball at both Minnesota and South Dakota, is the ultimate journeyman. The Jets are his fourth team this year after beginning his career in the Canadian Football League playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
