Heading into their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, there was a lot of doubt surrounding the New York Jets.
Many believed their team wouldn’t be able to compete, especially with Zach Wilson at the helm.
While the Jets ultimately fell short, Wilson played well, garnering props for his performance.
In an image shared by Ari Meirov, LeBron James lauded Wilson’s performance on Instagram, saying, “Keep ya head up high and keep pushing forward.”

Wilson finished the game with 245 passing yards and two touchdown passes.
This performance might not have been enough to win the Jets the game, but it was a step in the right direction for Wilson.
Aaron Rodgers was brought in during the offseason to take over as the Jets’ starting quarterback.
After his injury, however, there was a collective sigh from Jets fans, who weren’t looking forward to another year of Wilson.
If he’s able to perform throughout the year as he did on Sunday Night Football, those sighs could quickly turn to cheers.
The NFL continues to be a “What have you done for me lately?” league.
Wilson might have had critics last season, but he could turn them back in his favor as the weeks go on.
Whether he can sustain this level of play throughout the season remains to be seen.
After capturing the attention of James, however, it could light a fire under Wilson, propelling him to greater success in the future.
