Make New York Post a Preferred Source An inside look at Sunday’s Jets-Browns Week 5 matchup at MetLife Stadium:
Jets WR Garrett Wilson vs. Browns CB Denzel Ward
There has been a lot of chatter this week about Wilson only getting four targets last week.
Take flight with the Jets Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.
That number should jump this week, but Wilson will be facing another Ohio State legend in Ward, who is rated as the No. 1 cornerback in the NFL by Pro Football Focus this season.
“Really good player, opportunistic player that just the ball comes his way, if you’re not on your stuff on offense, he’s going to make you pay,” Wilson said of Ward.
“He’s always got a premium on the football is my takeaway from watching them. He’s someone I’ve gone against before and he’s a great player. He brings out the best, so I’m excited for it.”
The Jets will need to get Garrett Wilson, celebrating after scoring a touchdown in a Week 2 loss to the Packers, more touches this week against the Browns.

He is just the third quarterback in franchise history, since the merger, to open a season with at least 100 pass attempts and zero interceptions through their first four games.
The Jets need this one. If they fall to 1-4, the season is going to spiral.
I think the Browns are a bit overrated, and the Jets find a way this one.
