The New York Jets' 2023 season is slipping, as the team lost their fourth straight game Friday -- a 34-13 blowout to the rival Miami Dolphins. Head coach Robert Saleh made the decision to bench quarterback Zach Wilson for Tim Boyle, but the QB swap didn't spark the offense like many hoped it would.

Boyle completed 27 of 38 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions vs. Miami, including a 99-yard pick six on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half. The Jets' lone offensive touchdown in Week 12 came in garbage time with 4:37 remaining in the fourth quarter, while they picked up just 159 yards of total offense. 

Despite Boyle's struggles, Saleh told reporters Saturday that the journeyman will get another chance in Week 13 vs. the Atlanta Falcons. 

"Yeah, we're giving Timmy a chance to roll again next week," Saleh said, via ESPN.

Boyle, who turned 29 in October, hadn't started a game since 2021, when he was with the Detroit Lions. Undrafted out of Eastern Kentucky, Boyle has spent time with the Green Bay Packers, Lions, Chicago Bears and Jets.

Now 4-7, the Jets find themselves as the No. 14 seed in the AFC and holders of a top-10 draft pick entering Sunday. Something has to change, and fans hope that change will come in the form of Aaron Rodgers, who is working back from a torn Achilles suffered in September. Rodgers recently said he was targeting a mid-December return, and Fox Sports reported that Rodgers wants to play regardless of the team's place in the playoff picture. However, Saleh said the Jets need that "doctor's note" where Rodgers is officially cleared before he can practice, per ESPN.
