Jets fans should cling to this surprising reason for hope vs. Texans

On the most basic level, Sunday seems like another good opportunity for Jets fans to take another metaphorical kick directly to the stomach. Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is back as the team's starter only because the Jets clearly have no better options to choose from. The Texans' starting quarterback is C.J. Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, who through the first 12 games of his career has already found more success than Wilson has in his first three seasons.
