The New York Jets are reportedly making a change at the quarterback position after a disastrous loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The reported decision follows Wilson’s third-quarter benching in Sunday’s 32-6 loss against AFC East-rival Buffalo.

Boyle, 29, completed seven passes for 33 yards and an interception after replacing Wilson with a little over two minutes left in the third. Wilson finished the day 7-of-15 for 81 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
