The New York Jets have announced that second-year quarterback Zach Wilson will be the starter for Thursday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback Mike White has been ruled out with an injury.

Wilson will start his second straight game after being demoted to the bench following a poor performance against the New England Patriots in Week 11. After leading the offense to just three points, Wilson said in a press conference that "he did not let the defense down."
The quarterback later apologized for his comments.
The Jets are in the middle of a playoff race, but they've lost four of their previous five games, and if the season ended today, they'd be eliminated. After playing for the Jaguars on Thursday, they'll end the regular season with two away games against the Seattle Seahawks and the Miami Dolphins.

About the author
Henrique Bulio
Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.
Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique's favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.
If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.
Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.
Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
