Jets' Garrett Wilson: 'I Don't Know What to Tell the Fans' After Loss vs. Dolphins

New York Jets fans weren't happy with Friday night's 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Neither was wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

"I don't know what I could tell y'all, I don't know what to tell the fans, I don't know what they would want to hear," Wilson said after the loss, per SNY. "I'm out. I can't think of anything and I wish I could, man."

"We want to get this thing rolling and we are going to keep grinding, we're going to keep doing it, but as far as giving you all the sound byte or something to keep the faith, man, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not even gonna try this week."

Wilson pulled down seven catches for 44 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins.

He wasn't the only Jet skipping standard postgame platitudes after the loss.

The Jets fall to 4-7 on the season with their fourth loss in a row.

The Jets had just gotten within four points of tying the game when their hopes of evening out the score took a major blow in the waning seconds of the first half.

Dolphins safety Jevon Holland picked off a Hail Mary pass from third-string quarterback Tim Boyle and returned it for a 99-yard touchdown as time expired.

Conklin said he felt "pretty helpless" on the play, per SNY.

With the loss, the Jets' odds of a playoff berth fall to less than one percent, per Cimini. Meanwhile the 8-3 Dolphins cemented their lead atop the AFC East.

That is particularly frustrating for the Jets after the benching of quarterback Zach Wilson in favor of Boyle, a change head coach Robert Saleh described as an "opportunity to see if we can do something with the offense," per NYJets.com's Jack Bell.

The swap was unable to make up for the Jets' deeper flaws in a game where the team's defense scored just as much as its offense, a continuation of season-long struggles. Heading into Friday's loss, the New York team ranked 29th in the NFL in offensive yards per game (270.3) and points per game (15.0).

Media members asked Wilson if he had ever experienced something like the Jets' current offensive struggles, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt.

"Yeah," Wilson answered. "Last season."

The Jets will hope to return to the win column the weekend after next during a Sunday game against an Atlanta Falcons team currently on a three-game losing streak.
