After the 23-20 shocking defeat against the Bills, Wilson was visibly frustrated. It was his best game till now in the season, with 8 receptions for 107 yards and 1 touchdown, but they lost. Though he said in the post-game conference that the team needs to work out the details, the arrival of Davante Adams gives him a chance to turn around the season.
It also gives an edge to Aaron Rodgers. The QB and WR played 8 seasons together at the Green Bay Packers. A-Rod had wished him to join the Jets. However, at that time, Adams was a loyal Raider.
