ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) 鈥� Zach Wilson is running out of opportunities and a key backer in his bid to keep his starting job with the New York Jets.

After spending weeks defending Wilson against growing criticism, coach Robert Saleh was noncommittal regarding his starter moving forward following the Jets鈥� latest offensive dud in a 32-6 loss to the AFC East-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

鈥淲e are going to watch the tape and we鈥檒l make a decision (Monday),鈥� said Saleh, whose Jets (4-6) face a short week in preparing to play division rival Miami (7-3) on Friday. 鈥淲e鈥檒l look at all of it. I鈥檓 not really answering those questions yet.鈥�

The coach opened the door for a quarterback change by benching Wilson and replacing him with backup Tim Boyle with 2:17 left in the third quarter. Neither was effective in an outing New York finished with season lows in total yards (155) and points, and finished 0 for 11 on third-down conversions against a Bills defense that began the game missing three key starters and ended it without three defensive backs.

Wilson went 7 of 15 for 81 yards and a touchdown 鈥� the Jets鈥� first in three games 鈥� with an interception. Boyle went 7 of 14 for 33 yards and an INT.

鈥淔rustrated, but I get it,鈥� said Wilson, the Jets鈥� first-round draft pick in 2021 who has been starting since Aaron Rodgers tore his left Achilles鈥� tendon four snaps into his debut in the season opener, leaving Wilson to lead the Jets鈥� rally to a 22-16 overtime win against the Bills.

鈥淲hen things aren鈥檛 getting done, change has got to be made,鈥� Wilson said. 鈥淎nd I understand that.鈥�

The 29-year-old Boyle made his Jets debut after previous stints with the Packers, Lions and Bears.

鈥淚 thought Tim came in, he was decisive, he got rid of the ball,鈥� Saleh said. 鈥淗e did some good things.鈥�

Perhaps, he should consider Thomas Morstead as an option, given the punter matched Wilson鈥檚 longest completion 鈥� an 18-yard pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert 鈥� of the game. Morstead鈥檚 18-yard pass to cornerback Brandin Echols on a fake punt on fourth-and-2 from his own 24 extended a drive that resulted in the Jets scoring their lone 鈥� and rare 鈥� touchdown.

More injuries on the offensive line have compounded the Jets鈥� inability to sustain drives and score points. Left tackle Mekhi Becton did not finish the game after hurting his ankle in the first quarter. He was replaced by Carter Warren. Chris Glaser started at right guard, giving the Jets a different line combination for the seventh time in 10 games.

Wilson said the Jets鈥� issues run deeper than a patchwork offensive line, and start with his position under center.

鈥淚 truly think this offense as a whole is an issue,鈥� Wilson said. 鈥淲e have to be better as players, and we need to take accountability. That starts with me, and I鈥檓 not getting it done.鈥�

Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett鈥檚 move from the sideline to calling plays from the coach鈥檚 booth did little to ignite a Jets offense that has failed to score more than 13 points in four consecutive games.

And so much for the Jets getting any type of lift from a players-only offensive meeting held this week.

Saleh said he told Wilson that 鈥渋t鈥檚 not just him,鈥� after the benching, citing missed protections, poor route running and dropped passes. Top receiver Garrett Wilson, who was questionable to play with an elbow injury, was the intended receiver on Zach Wilson鈥檚 interception, and he also lost a fumble in the fourth quarter.

鈥淚t鈥檚 everyone right now,鈥� Saleh said.

Asked if the Jets offense was broken, Saleh would only say: 鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely an offense that needs to get better, let鈥檚 put it that way.鈥�

鈥淪cars sometimes accelerate the process,鈥� Saleh added. 鈥淎nd all of us got scarred today.鈥�
