Zach Wilson leads Jets to 30-6 win over Texans in return. C.J. Stroud leaves late with a concussion

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson overcame a sluggish start, some big hits and a week of criticism and controversy by responding with the type of impressive performance the New York Jets have long been expecting.Wilson threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes in his return from a two-game benching, New York shut down C.J. Stroud before Houston’s star rookie quarterback left late with a concussion and the Jets ended a five-game losing streak with a 30-6 victory over the Texans on Sunday.“Winning is always fun and that’s what we want right there,” Wilson said. “That’s what we want every game to look like.”Wilson was 27 of 36 for 301 yards — his third career game of 300 or more yards — after sitting in favor of the since-waived Tim Boyle. And that came despite Wilson facing consistent pressure all game and being sacked four times.“The second half, I thought Zach probably played the best game of his career,” coach Robert Saleh said. “I thought he was outstan...

As Israel continues its aerial assault in Gaza, many in South Florida are raising their voices in support in a different fashion.An installation on display at Art Basel this weekend served as inspiration for another type of message.In front of a globe — a representation of the world — inside the Miami Beach Convention Center, organizers on Sunday staged what they called a pro-Israel flash mob.“Each individual bought a ticket, just like any other participant in Art Basel,” said organizer Karin Lang, “so they were observing the art, they were participating in the exhibition, and so, it wasn’t a group entrance and a group effort that came in to storm Art Basel.”The bloody terror attacks of Oct. 7 keep having an impact around the globe.

And the show is a potential springboard back into the public eye for Farage and the Reform Party as a British election looms.We did our duty and gathered the “be...
