Garrett Wilson is leaving the worst game of his Jets career behind him

There was no need to wonder how Garrett Wilson felt about his performance in Week 7.

After what was his worst game of his NFL career, causing two interceptions that both resulted in touchdowns during the Jets’ brutal 37-15 loss to the Steelers, the star wideout admitted he was “playing like s–t.”

“That was the reason we lost the game at the end of the day,” Wilson said. “That s–t can’t happen. Can’t happen. Terrible plays. I’ve got to catch a damn ball. I’m playing like s–t right now and I’ve got to fix it.”

But coming into Week 8 against the Patriots, who the Jets beat 24-3 in Week 3, Wilson said he is confident after believing he made the necessary adjustments after the Steelers fallout.

“Yeah, I do. I feel like Step 1 of being better and playing the way you want to is being conscious and being self aware of what you did to put yourself in that position the week previous,” Wilson said after practice Friday. “That’s where it all started, watching the film and being intentional in practice. So, just catching the ball with my body, doing those types of things.
