The New York Jets (5-9) host the Washington Commanders (4-10) Sunday in a battle between two teams officially eliminated from playoff contention last week.
With Zach Wilson out for Sunday’s game due to a concussion, veteran Trevor Siemian starts under center for New York. It isn’t as if Wilson has been good, but Siemian is on his seventh NFL team and in his second tenure with the Jets.
Meanwhile, Sam Howell is back at quarterback for the Commanders after head coach Ron Rivera benched him midway through the fourth quarter in last week’s loss to the Rams. Rivera claimed the benching was more about protecting Howell, while offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy acknowledged that Howell was pressing.
Sunday’s game features the NFL’s statistically worst offense (Jets) against the statistically worst defense (Commanders).
