Five Jets to keep an eye on when the Green & White make their first trip to Houston in six years to play the Texans on Sunday:
QB Zach Wilson — How well will Wilson, making his first start since Game 6 at New England due to his knee injury, harnesses his emotions and walk that tightrope between being too cautious to let it rip when necessary and being too tight to operate at peak efficiency right out of the box. He'll definitely be looking to (re-)connect with his wideouts, led by hot rookie Elijah Moore and top veterans Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder. A telling factor will be how Wilson protects the ball. He has yet to lose a fumble as a pro but he threw 9 interceptions in his first 5-plus games. And the Texans have gotten to like the taste of turnovers the past two weeks, coming up with 10 takeaways at Miami and Tennessee — the most TAs in back-to-back games in the NFL since 2019.
RB Ty Johnson — Another intriguing Jet to observe is Johnson, whose profile should increase with the absence of Michael Carter for a few weeks with an ankle injury. Johnson's yards per carry are down at 3.4, possibly because in his third-down role, he's been focused on picking up the short yards and moving the chains. But his receiving skills have been outstanding with his 10.8-yard average on 25 receptions third-best among NFL RBs. And his attitude is exemplary, as he explained when it was suggested Carter sitting out spreads his wealth of runs, catches and plays to the other backs: "With him being out, there are opps, but I don't take it as, 'oh, get hyped up.' It's not like that. It's just do my job because I want to win, this team wants to win, so just get in there and do my job."
