Saleh Unsure Who Will Start At Quarterback On Friday

The New York Jets season took yet another low in Week 11. The team has been struggling essentially all season long, outside of a short, mid-season hot streak, and things have been especially bad with the quarterback position.

They were actually able to find the end zone for the first time in nearly 13 quarters in the first half, but those were the only points they were able to put up on the day. They lost the game by a score of 32-6, the fourth straight game in which they have scored 13 or fewer points. The wide receiver group for New York totaled a shocking amount of just 9 yards in the contest, and 18 of their 92 of their total passing yards came from their punter.

Zach Wilson was 7 for 15 for 81 yards and both a touchdown and interception through the first three quarters, but was benched in favor of backup Tim Boyle, who fared no better. Boyle went 7 for 14 and picked up just 33 yards and also threw an interception.
