The New York Jets are shaking things up for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. According to AP sources, Tim Boyle will be the starting quarterback for the Jets. This is a surprise move for the Jets, as Boyle is a relatively unknown player.
Boyle is a 25-year-old undrafted free agent who was signed by the Green Bay Packers in 2018. He has only played in two NFL games in his career, both coming in 2019. Boyle has yet to throw a touchdown pass in the NFL and has only thrown for a total of 64 yards.
The Jets have been struggling this season, with their current starting quarterback Sam Darnold having a subpar year. The team is currently 1-7 and is in need of a spark to turn things around. It appears that the Jets are hoping that Boyle can provide that spark.
It remains to be seen how Boyle will perform in his first NFL start. He will be going up against a Dolphins defense that is ranked in the top 10 in the league in points allowed per game. It is also uncertain how long Boyle will remain the starter if he does not perform well.
This is an interesting move by the Jets and one that could have a major impact on their season. It will be interesting to see how Boyle performs in his first NFL start and if he can provide the spark that the Jets need to turn their season around.
