Jets-Patriots Rookie QB Funtime Trivia
Here are several interrelated nuggets that will become operative assuming both the Jets' Zach Wilson and the Patriots' Mac Jones get the starting nods for Sunday's Jets-Patriots game at MetLife Stadium.
■ It would be the first time in the 62-year history of the rivalry that two rookie QBs have started against each other.
■ The Jets have started five rookie QBs against the Pats previously, beginning with Joe Namath in 1965 (against the Boston Patriots, of course) and running through Bill Demory (1973), Mark Sanchez (2009), Geno Smith (2013) and Sam Darnold (2018). The Jets' record in those games is 4-4.
■ The Patriots have started six rookies vs. the Jets previously, beginning with Tommy Greene in the teams' first meeting in 1960 and proceeding to Jim Plunkett (1971), Steve Grogan (1975), Tony Eason (1983), Tommy Hodson (1990) and Drew Bledsoe (1993). The Jets' record in those games is 6-2 and they've won the last six.
■ Thus the Jets are 10-6 in all games and 6-2 at home vs. the Patriots in which a rookie signal-caller starts for either team.
■ Finally, the North Jersey phase of the old AFL rivals' series began in 1990, when Ken O'Brien and the Jets topped Hodson and the Pats. In all games played in the Meadowlands, old stadium and new, when a rookie QB starts for either team, the Jets are 4-0 over the Patriots.
