LIVINGSTON, NJ — A local waitress — and her Jets fan son — got a special Christmas surprise on Saturday when rookie quarterback Zach Wilson was eating breakfast at the Ritz Diner in Livingston, N.J.

The waitress, Kensia Thelumsa, heard Wilson was in the diner, so she went over to him. Her son Scott is a big fan.

Much to her surprise, Wilson gave her two tickets to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
