In his first start of the season and first game action in a year, White threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets blew out the Bears.
But when he came home after the game, his wife seemed shocked to see a star walk through the door. White revealed that his wife asked him who he was after he got home from the game.
This is actually very amusing.
Jets fans might be asking the same thing at this point. After all, White has thrown for at least 300 yards in two of his four career starts, and may provide an unheralded selection to the Jets' quarterback issue.
White is set to start again against Minnesota on Sunday. As long as he keeps performing, there is a realistic chance that he keeps the job for quite some time.
Here are a few reactions from people around the NFL world to the funny story.
