Wilson’s struggles have playoff-hungry Jets in tough spot

Well, that took a lousy turn in a hurry for the New York Jets.

From the possibility of sitting in first place in the AFC East to the bottom of the division standings — with some serious questions about the quarterback.

And Zach Wilson is taking plenty of hits for his lousy play and uninspired answers after the Jets’ 10-3 stunning loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. He’s also uncertain to be under center next Sunday when New York hosts Chicago.

“We’re keeping everything on the table,” coach Robert Saleh said Monday when asked if he was committing to Wilson as the starter. “We have to look at what’s best for this organization and team.”

Saleh added “it’s not all about the quarterback.”

But Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s draft went 9 of 22 for a measly 77 yards with several wayward throws. The Jets managed just 2 total yards on seven possessions in the second half. That’s despite New York’s defense sacking Mac Jones six times and holding the Patriots to 4 of 15 on third down.

But when asked if he thought he and the Jets’ offense are letting the defense down, Wilson was defiant.

“No, no,” he said after the game.

It was a response that soon went viral as an example of a lack of accountability.

Meanwhile, inside the locker room, rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson was railing against the “sorry” offense — a performance Saleh called “dog (crap)” after the game. The firstround pick out of Ohio State insisted — without naming names during his rant — that coaches “have to put more trust in the receiver room” and “hopefully, this is a wakeup for some people in the facility.”

If New York does sit Wilson — something Saleh said Sunday wasn’t a thought — it would be either Mike White or Joe Flacco under center.

“Something’s got to get better,” Saleh said, “and we’re going to do our best to find an answer.”

The Jets are 6-4 and in the middle of the playoff hunt, but it feels a lot more dire.

That’s because despite the surprisingly strong start, the issue of whether Wilson can be the franchise quarterback the Jets hoped has been percolating.

He’s 5-2 as the starter
