Jets QB Zach Wilson 1 of 2 players with passing, rushing and receiving touchdowns

There are a lot of odd stats in the sports world. This is one of them. At this point in the 2022 NFL season, there are only two players with rushing, passing, and receiving touchdowns under their belt. Taysom Hill, a 'utility' player for the New Orleans Saints is one of them, not coming as much of a surprise. 

The other? Jets quarterback Zach Wilson

Wilson tallied his rushing touchdown in the Jets' dominant 40-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. But his best game came a week prior when New York took on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. 

A trick play in the second quarter ended with former Miami Hurricanes receiver Braxton Berrios throwing a touchdown pass to Wilson, giving the Jets a 10-0 lead and allowing Wilson to 'hit the griddy' dance in front of angry Pittsburgh fans. 

In the final quarter, with the Jets trailing 20-10, Wilson found Corey Davis for his only touchdown pass of the season. The Jets added a late touchdown to beat the Steelers.
