The Jets pulled off an impressive upset win over the Eagles at home on Sunday, taking down the last undefeated team remaining in the NFL.
But despite the victory, Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson still left the game displeased about one important factor: the turf.
After the game, Wilson told reporters that his home stadium's turf was "garbage."
Wilson had to check out of the game for a bit after suffering an injury while running what looked like a fairly normal route.

While Wilson was able to return to the game, concerns over non-contact injuries on turf like MetLife's run high.
MetLife Stadium's turf has received plenty of criticism this year, especially after Aaron Rodgers's injury just four plays into his Jets tenure.
NFL players have loudly voiced their preference for grass fields, with Wilson being the latest to join their cause.
