Zach Wilson didn’t walk out of MetLife Stadium with the win on Sunday night but he did do something that no other quarterback has ever done against Patrick Mahomes.
Per OptaSTATS (via Bleacher Report): “Zach Wilson is the ONLY QB to ever have fewer INT’s and more completions, passing yards, and TD passes in a game against Mahomes in college or the NFL (in a Mahomes start).”

It was a mostly clean night for Wilson outside of a backbreaking fumbled snap. He’ll look to build on this performance in the weeks to come.
