White received more support on Saturday with other teammates wearing "Mike F’n White" shirts.
The 27-year-old second-year quarterback was thrust into the starting role following the backlash Zach Wilson received for not stepping up and taking responsibility for the team’s loss against the New England Patriots when he made only nine completions for 77 yards and was sacked four times.
