It was kind of pick your matchup because those guys were just playing single man, which I think is great for preseason ball to see the guys can win and separate, and Malik has done a great job all training camp, so I wanted to go to his side. I liked the matchup with the corner as well and he did a great job winning.
Wilson finished the night passing 3-5 for 65 yards, leading the Jets on two drives resulting in field goals.
