Wilson eyes carryover against Ryan, Atlanta

WARE, England — Zach Wilson was a star improvisational quarterback last Sunday. This week, he’s back to basics.

“It’s how can we just keep stacking those bricks and keep getting better?” the New York Jets rookie said. “And so that was the focus this past week, and not ever getting complacent.”

The Jets (1-3), coming off a 27-24 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans, hope Wilson can carry over his success to Sunday when New York faces the Atlanta Falcons at the home of English Premier League team Tottenham.

The 22-year-old Wilson, who had never previously been to Britain, threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns, including a 53-yard strike to Corey Davis after the QB scrambled and pointed for his leading receiver to go deep for a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. It was one of a handful of improvs — sorry, “off-schedule” plays — Wilson pulled off to help the Jets earn their first win of the season.

“You find what things you can still improve on — good or bad plays,” Wilson said at a press conference at the team hotel outside the English capital.

Jets coach Robert Saleh definitely wants Wilson “to ball” and cited the big-play capabilities of Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.

“But they also play a game of game management and they just wait for you,” Saleh said. “So there’s a feel that Zach’s going to get. The more he learns the game, the more he feels the speed of the game, the more he’ll know exactly when to pick and choose his shots. And when he does, just like Sunday, they’ll be explosive.

“So hopefully he learns faster.”
