Wilson threw for one touchdown pass, which potentially fueled the Jets victory by 22-16 against the Bills. But still, there’s a long way to go for the Jets. Whatever happens, all the football enthusiasts are eager to watch how the Jets will recalibrate ahead of their next matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
