Jets Name Starting Quarterback vs. Seahawks

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White will start in Week 17 against the Seahawks.

Phew. Jets fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as they won’t be punished by Zach Wilson making a crucial start in a win or go home matchup against the Seahawks.

After being sidelined for two weeks with a rib injury, White was cleared by team doctors on Monday, and instantaneously named the starter.

White started three consecutive weeks for the Jets (Weeks 12-14), throwing for 952 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while going 1-2. Despite his record on paper, White was eons better than his counter partner, and now gives Jet fans one more gasp for playoff football.

Gang Green will need to win the final two remaining games of the season in order to have a chance of sneaking into a wildcard spot.

As for Zach Wilson? His future with the team is a bleak as ever.
