WDHA’s 2-Minute Drill – Are Zach Wilson and the Jets Seriously Talking Playoffs
Back in late September the Jets were coming off a horrible loss to the Patriots.
How horrible?
Let’s just say the one fan lost his teeth over it.

And yet here we are at the end of October and the Jets are coming into a weekend game with the Giants and they have themselves and the fans thinking (seriously) about the playoffs.
Zack Rosenblatt from The Athletic joined us on the Jolt and talked about how EVERYONE was frustrated, and how Jets quarterback Zach Wilson was bearing the brunt of that frustration.
A loss to the Chiefs that could very easily have been a win, followed by victories against the Broncos and the Eagles, and all of a sudden, here are the Jets at 3-3 with a somewhat realistic shot at making the playoffs.
Zack returned to the WDHA Morning Jolt to join Jim Monaghan and Chris Swendeman on the Two-Minute Drill and among the topics they discussed –
- Zach Wilson has looked SO much more relaxed
- The Jets defense is coming at people hard
- This weekend’s game versus the Giants has both teams facing some pressure to win, but a Giants loss could be the crushing blow to their season.
5 Best Personalities in the NFL Right Now
Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

Dan Campbell
All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

Bill Belichick
Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
