US EditionAntwan Staley: It Is Time for the Jets to End the Justin Fields Experiment
Jets coach Aaron Glenn defends Justin Fields despite a franchise-low -10 net passing yards and 0-6 record, stating multiple players must improve, not just the quarterback.
- On Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the New York Jets lost 13-11 to the Denver Broncos, dropping to 0-6 with a franchise-low-10 net passing yards and nine sacks on Justin Fields, Jets quarterback.
- Pressure metrics show Fields was pressured on 48% of drop-backs and the offense managed only 82 yards with a questionable fourth-and-1 at the 47-yard line sequence.
- In postgame comments, Glenn said `The passing game was non-existent` and scolded a reporter with `Come on, what kind of question is that?` Fields said `It wasn't good enough and it starts with me.`
- Despite mounting calls for action, Glenn said he is sticking with Fields as the starter and noted backup Tyrod Taylor has started before, with Week 7 vs. Carolina Panthers next.
- Changes are coming on offense as Garrett Wilson faces a ligament injury requiring an MRI, analysts expect scrutiny of offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and observers predict the Jets will likely seek a new quarterback next season.
