Not many defensive linemen, or defensive players in general, have had as good of a season as the New York Jets' Muhammad Wilkerson, albeit quietly in what was otherwise a dismal season for Gang Green. Unfortunately for Wilkerson, that season will likely end a game short.

The team later said Wilkerson received the concussion near the end of the game and didn't show concussion-like symptoms until after it was over.With the season long lost, there's no reason to rush Wilkerson back into the lineup for a meaningless contest with the Buffalo Bills. However, Ryan said missing Wilkerson "would be a huge blow, no question."Often working inside but moving along the line, Wilkerson tallied 66 tackles, five sacks, four passes defensed and three forced fumbles. He graded out as the NFL's fourth-best defen...

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has informed quarterback Mark Sanchez that he’ll start in the season finale.
The reason Sanchez is getting the start is because Greg McElroy is currently being evaluated for a concussion. Of course Tim Tebow isn’t happy at all about this.
Without the circus that is the Jets, I wouldn’t be able to laugh as much I have been.

What better way for the New York Jets to end their season than to start the quarterback who was once the starter, then got benched, then started again, then got benched again and is now preparing to be under center to close out the year. Greg McElroy is still suffering from concussion-like symptoms, which means Mark Sanchez is starting against the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
