Jets sticking with Tim Boyle at quarterback as offensive struggles continue

The Jets won’t be making another quarterback change … yet.

Jets coach Robert Saleh said Saturday that the team will start Tim Boyle at quarterback in their next game on Dec. 3 against the Falcons.

“Yeah, we’re giving Timmy another shot to roll next week,” Saleh said. “Obviously, there are things that he could have done better. There are things he had no control over. I know he battled out there. We were able to get to certain calls that we were hoping to. We were able to execute a lot of the different things that we wanted to execute. It just didn’t come to full fruition.”

The Jets benched Zach Wilson last week and made Boyle the starter for their Black Friday game against the Dolphins.

The offense did not look any better with Boyle as they scored just one touchdown and that came in garbage time.

Boyle completed 27-of-38 passing for 179 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, one that came on the Hail Mary before halftime that resulted in a 99-yard touchdown return by Jevon Holland.

The Jets have veteran Trevor Siemian backing Boyle up.

He would be the next quarterback to get a shot if the Jets make another change.

Aaron Rodgers is back with the team and still hoping to return this season, but that is looking less likely with each loss the Jets suffer.
