An inside look at Sunday’s Jets-Packers Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field.
Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is coming off a week in which he was not asked to do a lot, but also one in which he did not turn the ball over. Wilson was 14-for-21 for 210 yards and had one rushing touchdown in the win over the Dolphins. The Jets likely will need more this week out of Wilson, who has not recorded a 300-yard passing game yet in his career.. The two got to talk last year when the teams held joint practices in Green Bay. Now, Wilson will try to take down his hero.
“Being on the same field as him is cool,” Wilson said. “We’re kind of attacking their defense, so it’s a little bit different. It was probably the same thing last year when we were playing Tampa Bay. It was like, ‘Wow, we’re playing against Tom Brady right now. I’ve watched this guy since I was born which is kind of crazy.’ I’m sure it will be the same kind of thing in this game.
The Packers have the duo of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon, who have combined this year for 635 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, plus a receiving touchdown. The Jets have the young guns, Breece Hall and Michael Carter, who have 433 combined rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, as well as a receiving touchdown.
Hall had a huge game last week against the Dolphins, with 197 total yards. It will be interesting to see how playing time is divided this week.. The Packers are 10-0 following a loss under coach Matt LaFleur and have won their past 12 games after a defeat. The Jets also have to overcome the Packers’ home-field advantage. Green Bay has won 15 straight regular-season games at Lambeau Field. The Packers are 24-3 at home since LaFleur became the coach in 2019.
“I definitely think it was the best that we’ve seen, the best version of him, and saying that, I also believe that he has a long way to go,” defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said. “He’s a guy that, he’s getting healthier every day, he’s getting more confident every day, he’s starting to get back to form.”
