Today is the first time the NFL plays games, as the New York Jets meet the Cleveland Browns in Canton, Ohio, for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. Surprisingly, Zach Wilson is starting for the former in place of star acquisition Aaron Rodgers.During a first-quarter drive, Wilson dropped back for a pass and scrambled to rush short of a first down, slipping along the way:Alex 👋@Dubs408Zach Wilson slips scrambling on 3rd down pic.twitter.com/C4ZQGvjzIx5019Zach Wilson slips scrambling on 3rd down pic.twitter.com/C4ZQGvjzIxCris Collinsworth, NBC's lead analyst. said of the play:"You know, that's better than what you would've gotten from him last season.

The Jets are leading the Browns 16-14, and while he did not throw a touchdown pass, he did record a monstrous 57-yard throw to Malik Taylor from deep within his team's territory in the first quarter.Here's the video:New York Jets@nyjets.@ZachWilson DEEP to @Taylor12Malik!! @ProFootballHOF on NBC pic.twitter.com/kEnVnzlH7n2090307.@ZachWilson DEEP to @Taylor12Malik!!📺 @ProFootballHOF on NBC pic.twitter.com/kEnVnzlH7nWilson was pulled by the second quarter, but Tim Boyle kept Gang Green firmly ahead by handing off to rookie Israel Abanikanda for a touchdown:New York Jets@nyjetsThat speed is DIFFERENT.TOUCHDOWN @IAbanikanda!! @ProFootballHOF Game on NBC pic.twitter.com/NSsKRp7wYy1364207That speed is DIFFERENT.TOUCHDOWN @IAbanikanda!!📺 @ProFootballHOF Game on NBC pic.twitter.com/NSsKRp7wYyThat was set up by this Chazz Surratt interception off of Kellen Mond:New York Jets@nyjetsPicked by Chazz!! @ProFootballHOF on NBC pic.twitter.com/2XdyvYCsfB641108Picked by Chazz!!📺 @ProFootballHOF on NBC pic.twitter.com/2XdyvYCsfBThe Browns responded with a rushing score by Demetric Felton:NFL@NFL.@Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson out here throwing blocks @DoriansTweets: @ProFootballHOF Game on NBC: Stream on NFL+ bit.ly/3UbqGy6 pic.twitter.com/jJvF2QPDNz701128.@Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson out here throwing blocks 😤 @DoriansTweets📺: @ProFootballHOF Game on NBC📱: Stream on NFL+ bit.ly/3UbqGy6 pic.twitter.com/jJvF2QPDNzThe game is currently on a fourth-quarter delay after a presumed power outage at the stadium:Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdateSome of the lights have gone off at the stadium, and the #Jets-#Browns game is now in a delay.

Teams now have less time to fully evaluate starters, instead considering it more valuable to assess how backups and fringe players fare.However, Rodgers still believes he will eventually make the preseason. He told team reporter John Pullano:"I wouldn't mind playing in the preseason. I wouldn't mind if Robert (Saleh) said 'Hey, we are going to go. Let's do it.' "Most coaches have that fear where they want to get you to the Week 1 and not risk it, but I believe there is a chance for the last one (against the Giants on Aug. 26)."The last time Rodgers played a preseason game, it was 2018, and he was still a Packer. His team beat the Steelers 51-34, so he may want to revive that momentum in his first game as a Jet.
