SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU and current New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson completed a throw for a two-point conversion during a London game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Jets and Falcons played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday, October 10.
Atlanta defeated New York, 27-20.
With 6:55 remaining in the fourth quarter, Jets running back Michael Carter scored on a two-yard run to cut Atlanta’s lead to 20-15.
Looking to cut the deficit to three points, the Jets decided to go for two rather than kick a PAT.
Wilson connected with Jamison Crowder to complete the two-point try and make it a 20-17 game.
