Jets Analysis: The Jets opened the season with three tricky matchups against talented defenses. Predictably, their rookie quarterback, Zach Wilson, struggled. However, he received a reprieve last week, responding with his best game as a pro. Wilson completed 21 of 34 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He's primed for a stellar follow-up against another porous defense. Football Outsiders ranks the Falcons 28th in pass defense Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. In addition, Pro-Football-Reference credits the Falcons with the third-lowest pressure rate (18.9%). As a result, Wilson should operate in a clean pocket, making life easier to air it out to his suddenly healthy receivers.
