Going into the Bills/Jets game, Zach Wilson was 9 of 47 (yes, only 19%) with 3 yards per attempt, 1 TD and 5 INT for the season when pressured.
You would think that would tell our coaching staff to put pressure on him by any means necessary, including blitzing.
Instead, we played our normal defense and Wilson went 12 of 15 for 6.3 yards per attempt, 1 TD and 0 INT with a 115.3 QB rating when the Bills didn’t blitz him.
Belichick, likely learning from McDermott/Frazier’s folly, blitzed Zach Wilson like a mad man. He was even sending EIGHT MAN blitzes, leaving only 3 to cover the rest of the field. That’s how important pressure is to attacking Wilson.
What happened?
Jets scored 3 total points and Wilson went 9 of 22.
