After talking with NBC Sports’ Mike Florio, Wilson gave the reason why he flashed the sign:
“That’s just for all of the fans there,” Wilson told PFT by phone after the 31-30 win over the Browns. “I know a lot of them watching for the previous three to four years at Ohio State and I kind of felt the love in warmups. I kind of made my mind up if I scored that I wanted to do the ‘O-H.’ That’s all that was.”
“I mean this is special,” Wilson said. “The moment I’ll never forget for sure, being back in Ohio. And something I’ll definitely tell my kids about. To get a win anywhere in this league is huge but definitely adds some flare to it being back where I played college ball.”
Wilson finished the game with 8 receptions for 102 yards for 2 touchdowns, including the game-winning 15-yard touchdown with 22 seconds left in the game to put the Jets up 31-30 on the Cleveland Browns.
