NFL Sunday: Mike White Day

We had two teams going for the win at the end of regulation (one is the Jags vs. Ravens, other is more playoff worthy) and both did it. Jags more than once had to settle for a chip shot field goal. So, when the Ravens went ahead late, looked like another loss. But, the Ravens had issues in close games this season, if not lately. 

I talked about the Jets in my Thanksgiving post. How did that go? Well.  I mean it went good.  It helps that the Bears had three wins, give up a lot of points, and their raw but play-maker QB didn't start.  If he did start, it might have been closer.  We had a bit of a hiccup early with a flubbed field goal attempt and a 10-7 deficit. Bears didn't score again.  31-10, Jets. 

So, Mike White at QB?  That seemed to be the sentiment for some before the game.  I saw multiple comments about Zack Wilson not being ready for prime time.  The actual RECORD seems not quite the relevant for some reason:

Flacco is 1-2 (should be 0-3)

Wilson is 5-2 (both losses vs. Pats)

White is 1-0

Next up is the Vikings, who have made a habit of winning by scoring a lot of points late to come from behind.  So, if Mike White is the "score" QB, well, that might help. Who is after the Vikings? The Bills. Which the Jets beat with Wilson starting. In fact, he won each game he started, except the Patriots.  He probably would have won this one.  

Mike White had his one charmed game last season. That was an upset against a team that was slumming that day.  He didn't do much more that season.  I am where I was before the game -- Zach Wilson probably needed a game off all things considered, but the head coach blew it by not taking him out mid-game versus the Patriots.  Anyway, hard to see what this game alone tells us.  It was fun to watch though, surely.  

In former Jets QBs news, Sam Darnold won, Geno Smith did not.
