"We were collaborating. I don't even think I was talking to Geno. I think we were both heated, but not at each other at all," Wilson said. "We were just disappointed about how we were playing up to that point. [We] wanted it to be a little more aggressive. That's what it was."

Aaron Glenn takes responsibility for Garrett Wilson’s limited role in Jets’ loss

Glenn opened up about Wilson's limited involvement while speaking to reporters after the game.

“A player of his magnitude, we have to do everything we can to get him the ball,” Glenn said. “I'm going to put that on myself, because that's in the gameplan to try and get it to him, we have to do everything we can to make sure we do that.”

Wilson went without a target in the first half as the Jets fell behind 21-7. He also appeared to have a heated exchange with quarterback Geno Smith on the sideline. However, both players dismissed any personal disagreement.

The Jets have now lost five of their last six games and face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.
