Zach Wilson Gets Trolled After Loss Against Patriots
As expected, after the disappointing loss, fans reprimanded Zach Wilson for not performing as per expectations. Although he scored 2 touchdowns for 355 yards, the 3 interceptions really pushed his side back.
Wilson has been in the news in recent times mainly because of the ‘homie-hopper’ saga. So when he made a few errors, given what the NFL Twitter has been focusing on regarding him, it was a no-brainer that memes will galore.
While Wilson has made the headlines for a lot of personal and off the field stuff, many experts and fans have also talked in detail about how talented a quarterback he is. In fact, many have opined that he might turn out to be the next Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes.
While it was a tough day in the office for Wilson, he still has the cushion of 5 wins out of 8 games which will allow him to breathe a little easy before taking the field in the upcoming clash against the Bills.
If we talk about Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, he was also not as impressive as fans expected him to be. However, a well-coordinated team effort allowed the New England-based franchise to register a much needed victory.
The Patriots will next take on the Colts coming Sunday.
