Zach Wilson threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes in his return from a two-game benching, New York shut down C.J. Stroud before Houston's star rookie quarterback left late with a concussion and the Jets ended a five-game losing streak with a 30-6 victory over the Texans on Sunday. Wilson was 27 of 36 for 301 yards — his third career game of 300 or more yards — in easily his best performance of the season after sitting in favor of the since-waived Tim Boyle.

Zach Wilson was benched by the New York Jets to try to spark the offense. “I think that he’s had the two weeks off to re-center himself and learn and continually grow,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said Thursday. Wilson mostly struggled during his first two NFL seasons after being the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2021.

Kyle Connor scored twice, Connor Hellebuyck stopped 32 shots in his 250th career win and the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 on Thursday night. The Jets won their third straight coming off a three-game skid. Also, third-place Winnipeg moved within two points of Central Division-leading Colorado.

He has four interceptions in his past three games, capped by a two-INT performance in last week's win over Denver that earned him AFC defensive player of the week honors. He's the first player in the NFL this season to have four interceptions in a three-game stretch and is one of three this season to have at least one INT in three straight games.
