LeBron James has beautiful message for Zach Wilson after heartbreaking loss to Chiefs

Zach Wilson blamed himself for the New York Jets’ tough 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. However, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James doesn’t want him to think so.

While Wilson’s fourth-quarter turnover was certainly costly, James emphasized that it shouldn’t overshadow his otherwise incredible performance. When everyone thought Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs would dominate and beat the Jets easily, it was Wilson who made the Jets a contending team.

The Jets quarterback performed well in the first half, completing 18 of 26 passes for 141 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, and helped the Jets tie the game at 20-20 in the third quarter. New York fell behind 17-0 in the first quarter, but that did not discourage Wilson at all.

Of course, a loss is a loss, and Wilson would rather win than anything else. Still, his and New York’s performance against one of the NFL’s top teams was encouraging. If anything, that should put them on the right track as they look to turn around New York’s rickety ship.

As for LeBron James, he only gave a simple suggestion Zach Wilson: Keep your head high.

“What a gamer! You win as a team and you lose as a team! 1 game doesn’t define the entire game! Keep your head high and keep going!! If this were easy, everyone would be doing it !” James wrote on his Instagram Story, along with a video of Wilson blaming himself for the loss.

It’s great to see Wilson taking responsibility. But as LeBron hinted, he gave it his all for the Jets. Sure, his miss was unfortunate, but at the end of the day, this was still one of his best games against New York to date. He can be proud of it.
