The NFL Week 15 slate is full of games that can change the outlook of the season.
There are a few games that can influence the playoff picture.
Along with a few storylines that make for some must-watch TV.
Here are the top two storylines of Week 15 in the NFL.
Zach Wilson Returns To Starting Lineup
The New York Jets seemingly have a new starting quarterback every week.
Through 13 games the Jets have already started three different quarterbacks.
Now in Week 15, they turn the duties back over to Zach Wilson.
Wilson was benched after an abysmal performance following a 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
But, with Mike White injured and unable to play, Wilson gets thrown back into the fire.
Some of the Jets players were unhappy with Wilson after his last start.
His lack of accountability rubbed some of his teammates the wrong way.

Well, he has a chance to gain some respect back with a good performance on Sunday.
The Jets face a must-win game against the Detroit Lions.
This game could make or break the Jets’ playoff chances, so Wilson playing well is crucial.
Desmond Ridder NFL Debut
One of the rookie quarterbacks that has yet to make his debut this year is Desmond Ridder of the Atlanta Falcons.
Well, he will get his first start of the season in Week 15.
The Falcons are still fighting for the NFC South title, and they are hoping Ridder can lead them there.

The third-round pick of the 2022 NFL draft is a dual-threat, and a strong enough arm to make all the throws.
His decision-making will be something to watch for in his first NFL game.
Most rookies struggle with the speed of the game, and it will be interesting to see how Ridder responds.
