"It was a gut-wrenching week for New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields, who almost lost his job and was publicly criticized by team owner Woody Johnson. At one point during the week, Fields was in his closet at home, on the ground, sobbing. The tears almost happened again Sunday after the Jets' first win of the season, 39-38 over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium -- one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history."
"Fields gave a clinic on how an embattled athlete should handle adversity. Rebounding from two dismal performances, he completed 21 of 32 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown, rallying the Jets from a 15-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter. He also ran for a 2-point conversion and made a brilliant, falling-down throw to Isaiah Davis on another 2-point play."

Fields rallied the Jets from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 39-38 win over the Bengals, one of the franchise's biggest comebacks. Breece Hall contributed two rushing touchdowns and threw the game-winning halfback-option touchdown. Teammates praised Fields for staying locked in and leading the comeback after a tumultuous week.
