SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson tasted victory for the first time in the NFL as he led the New York Jets to a win over the Tennessee Titans.

The Jets hosted the Titans at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, October 3.

New York defeated Tennessee in overtime, 27-24.

The Jets trailed the Titans by seven points in the fourth quarter before Wilson led a comeback.

With 11:30 remaining in regulation, the former BYU gunslinger tossed a three-yard pass to Jamison Crowder to know the game at 17-17.

Less than three minutes later, Wilson connected with Corey Davis for six points on a deep ball of 53 yards. Wilson’s second touchdown pass put the Jets up 24-17.

The Titans tied the game on a touchdown with 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The score sent the game into overtime.

Wilson marched the Jets down the field for a go-ahead field on the opening possession of overtime.

Tennessee’s Randy Bullock missed a potentially game-tying 49-yard field goal with 19 seconds left in overtime and New York secured its first win of the season.

Wilson finished the game 21/34 passing for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He posted a rating of 97.3.
