The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the New York Jets 19-3 as quarterback Zach Wilson was booed throughout the game and was finally benched on a rainy night in New York.

The Jets had just three first downs and four rushing yards in the first half as they slumped to a fourth successive defeat.
“I’m just really disappointed about the display,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said.
The result leaves both sides with a record of seven wins and eight defeats but while the Jets’ play-off ambitions are diminishing – they are now bottom of the AFC East – the Jaguars are coming good at the right time of the season.
This was a third consecutive win for the Florida-based team, who have two games left against divisional rivals to reach the postseason.
They play the Houston Texans, who have won just one game all season on 1 January before facing the Tennessee Titans, who lead the AFC South with a 7-7 record, on 8 January.
