Bill Belichick orchestrating a defense against New York Jets’ rookie Zach Wilson didn’t figure to be a fair fight.
It wasn’t in the first half Sunday as the New England Patriots and their coach had the Jets’ rookie, No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, baffled.
Wilson threw a hat trick of picks before the game had reached halftime.
That's why they call him Mr. INT!
J.C Jackson picks off another, with a little help from @McCourtyTwins.

At one point late in the half, the rookie from BYU had as many picks as completions.
Growing pains for Robert Saleh and Gang Green.
