New York Jets star wide receiver Garrett Wilson erupted on the bench during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, screaming in frustration. Cameras captured Wilson yelling in the direction of quarterback Geno Smith, but Wilson clarified afterward that his anger wasn't directed at Smith. Instead, he said he was upset with the play-calling in the red zone and that he and Smith were both heated but not at each other.
Smith echoed that sentiment, saying he didn't think Wilson was yelling at him. The outburst highlighted the growing frustration within the Jets (2-5), who trailed 21-7 at halftime against a previously winless Dolphins team. Coach Aaron Glenn dropped to 5-19 overall and 0-8 in the AFC East.
Wilson finished with only two catches for 26 yards, despite the coaches emphasizing the need to get him more involved. The Jets managed a season-high 377 yards, but their defense struggled, allowing the Dolphins to score on three of their first four possessions. Fans booed loudly at halftime and again at the end of the game.
Glenn expressed disappointment in the team's defensive performance, while Wilson and Smith later discussed finding a resolution to improve their struggling offense.
