During the Bears-Jets game, NFL fans roasted Zach Wilson for a brutally accurate Fox Sports graphic.
Following last week's humiliating loss to the Patriots, the New York Jets benched former No. 2 pick Zach Wilson and started Mike White in Sunday's home game against the Chicago Bears.
And guess what? That move quickly paid dividends for Robert Saleh's team, as White threw three touchdown passes in a 31-10 victory over the Bears.
Wilson did not dress for the game, but he was on the sidelines at MetLife Stadium on a rainy day. Fox Sports showed him while airing a graphic depicting how bad the Jets offence was last week with Wilson at the helm

Zach Wilson was benched for what reason? What did he have to say in the Week 11 postgame press conference?
Wilson struggled in their Week 11 loss to their AFC East rival, and he followed it up with a disastrous press conference. As a result, head coach Robert Saleh announced that Wilson would be benched in favour of Mike White.
Wilson was roundly chastised for refusing to accept responsibility for a poor offensive performance, while the Jets defence held the Patriots to three points the entire game. In the final seconds of the game, New England won 10-3 on a punt return touchdown.

A reporter asked Wilson after the game if he felt he had let the defence down. His response was straightforward:
"No."
But why did 'Zach Wilson' behaved such?
Lets have a look Zach Wilson's NFL season stats and Week 12 performance in 2022.
The Jets have been impressive this season, but Wilson can't be blamed for their turnaround. Although they were winning games, they appeared to be stagnant on offence, with Zach Wilson shouldering some of the blame. It's important to note that Breece Hall's season-ending injury was a major factor in their offensive slump, but Wilson didn't help himself either.
The Jets entered the regular season with Joe Flacco under center as Wilson suffered a knee injury in the preseason matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Flacco went 1-2 before Wilson was ready to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4.
Wilson brought the Jets into the limelight as they won their next four games. However, in Week 8, the Patriots defeated the Jets 22-17. Zach Wilson completed only 20 of the 41 passes he attempted. He threw for 355 yards and had two touchdown passes and three interceptions. Those turnovers proved too much for the Jets to overcome.
Following a narrow victory over the Buffalo Bills and a bye week, the Jets were defeated 3-10 by the Patriots in Week 11. Wilson completed 9 of 22 passes for 77 yards, but the offence gained only two yards after the break. It was his worst performance of his career, and that, combined with his postgame remarks, led to his benching for Week 12 against the Chicago Bears.
This season, Zach Wilson has thrown for 1,279 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. As the Jets believe they can compete with the best of teams this year, they felt a change was required to push them forward.

Zach Wilson apologized for his Week 11 comments
Wilson later apologized for his comments, saying:
“I wanted the opportunity to talk to those guys, really make it from the heart... It's deserved (the criticism), the way that I handled the situation wasn't right and I've got to be a better football player and I've got to be a better leader for these guys..."
Wilson addressed the entire team on Wednesday, admitting his poor game performance. He also stated that he is not here to serve as a backup quarterback and will do everything in his power to reclaim the team's starting quarterback position.
Meanwhile, Mike White took the field against the Chicago Bears on Sunday and led the team to a 31-10 victory. White wowed everyone with his performance, completing 22 of 28 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns.
Though the question remains as to whether the will Jets give Zach Wilson another chance to prove himself.
