Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay may have given the New York Jets some bulletin board material going into Sunday night’s game as the defender was critical of Zach Wilson.

Wilson’s struggles have been largely at the forefront of the NFL since he entered the league and then took over for Aaron Rodgers when he was lost for the season. The team is still trying to rally around him the best they can.

Gay was asked what he saw from Wilson and the Jets’ offense and held back a laugh.

"Damn, that’s a tough question," he said.

"A team that wants to run the ball. Of course, man, that wasn’t to be funny or anything, but A-Rod got hurt and they turned into a team where like (it was) panic mode, almost. That’s what I see, at least. They’ve got great running backs, so now they’re just trying to pound and ground."

The Jets do not have it easy on Sunday against the Chiefs, who have Chris Jones back in Super Bowl form. Wilson has 467 passing yards, two touchdown passes and four interceptions in three games. He did help the Jets stun the Buffalo Bills in Week 1.
