ESPN article on Zach - trying to be too aggressive they say
Unlike in Week 1, Wilson was afforded solid pass protection. On the first interception, he threw over the middle into heavy coverage, looking for Corey Davis. Cornerback J.C. Jackson stepped in front of Davis to make the play.

On his second throw, Wilson was on the move, rolling to his right, and threw high to Davis. The ball went off his hands and into the waiting arms of safety Adrian Phillips.

The rookie seemed to calm down after two complete passes, but he did it again, underthrowing rookie Elijah Moore. Once again, Jackson made the interception.

In the third quarter, Wilson threw his worst pass of the day, heaving a deep floater that was intercepted by safety Devin McCourty. There wasn't an intended receiver near McCourty, and Wilson was under no duress.

On all four turnovers, Wilson was overly aggressive, looking downfield instead of settling for checkdown options. Going into the game, Wilson said he was excited to pass against a Bill Belichick-coached defense, saying it would be a "great challenge" with "lots of great learning."

There were many teaching moments in the first half.
