So I already like his tendencies better than Wilson.

Wilson was playing against the same aging Rivers who had the throw the ball all day and Wilson didn’t get an interception.

Wingard came off the bench and did his thing.

"Jumped the route" is a little much.  

He sat back in zone coverage and watched Rivers stare down one receiver on 3rd down late in the game/down on the scoreboard and broke to the ball on the release. 

It was a good play. I hesitate to presume it's an indicator that our back-up FS is going to be some uber-ball-hawk. There's a reason why he's behind Wilson on the depth chart. 

I'm not hating on the kid. I just don't think that play should be viewed as something to expect regularly - and I think he may well get caught out of position by Tannehill next week a few times when he doesn't have the luxury of sitting back in zone knowing a desperation pass is coming.
