Zach Wilson led the New York Jets to a 30-6 victory over the Houston Texans, marking the second time he threw for 2 or more touchdowns in a Jets win. Wilson threw for 301 yards and 2 touchdowns, with Garrett Wilson achieving a season-high yardage total. The Jets scored 30+ points in the second half after being shut out in the first half, a feat not seen since the 2022 Vikings vs. the Colts. This is only the 2nd time the Jets have scored 30+ points in a half of football in the last 15 years. C.J. Stroud, the Texans' quarterback, had a tough game, throwing for only 91 yards and no touchdowns. Robert Saleh, the Jets' coach, praised Wilson's performance, calling it the best game of his career.

The Jets are the first team since the 2022 Vikings vs. the Colts to score 30+ points in the second half after being shut out in the first half. It's just the 2nd time the Jets have scored 30+ points in a half of football in the last 15 years (2018 vs. DET).
FINAL: Jets 30, Texans 6 Zach Wilson, showing no reluctance, played perhaps his best game. Got the ball to his playmakers, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall. One … two .. three offensive TDs. Holy crap! Defense taught young C.J. Stroud a hard lesson. They snap a five-game…
This is the 2nd time in Zach Wilson's career he has thrown for 200 yards in a half, along with Week 8 last season against the Patriots (203 Pass yds in 2nd half), @ESPNStatsInfo #Jets
If the score holds, this would be just the 2nd time Zach Wilson has thrown 2 or more TDs in a Jets win.
