EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Jets carousel at quarterback in 2023 took another turn Sunday afternoon.

Trailing 13-8 and after throwing a bad interception to end the third quarter, Tim Boyle was benched for veteran signal-caller Trevor Siemian.

Siemian is in his seventh season as an NFL quarterback and has completed 59% of his passes for 42 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.

He has not won a game as a starting quarterback since the 2017 season.

Boyle was the Jets’ starting quarterback for New York’s last loss to the Miami Dolphins last Friday and was 14-25 passing against the Atlanta Falcons for 158 yards and an interception.

This is an updating story.
