Saturday, quarterback
Zach Wilson spoke in a meeting at the team hotel in Colorado, the team source said. Wilson’s message: Win this one for Hackett.
Before the game on Sunday, tight end
C.J. Uzomah gave a pep talk to the offense. He told them: “They made it personal, their coach made this s— personal. Well, f— him and f— them, this ain’t about them, it’s about us getting back on the right track.”
“He’s a Jet,” said linebacker
Quincy Williams, who might’ve saved a 10-point win from turning into a close loss with a
late-game strip sack. “He’s one of us. The biggest thing is, if you got a comment about him, you got a comment about all of us. So at the end of the game, getting this win for him was very huge. Put some respect on my dawg’s name.”
Cornerback
Sauce Gardner said he could tell it was on Hackett’s mind all week.
“It was something that was personal to him. Even if he’s not telling us: Yeah, this is personal to me,” Gardner said. “You can just look at how he carried himself the week of the game, how he’s got that look on his face that he really wanted this game. It meant a lot to get that win for him.”
