Fields shines in Jets debut, 'outstanding' in loss
"I don't think a lot of people expected us to come out like that,"
"[The Steelers] acquired all these guys this offseason, future Hall of Famers on that side of the ball, and we put up 32 and there were still plays that were left out there. All we have to do is keep building, keep getting better and we'll be good."
"He did an outstanding job,"
The New York Jets lost 34-32 to the Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium while Justin Fields delivered a highly efficient debut. Fields completed 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards and one touchdown and rushed for two scores, becoming the third Jets player to rush for two touchdowns and throw for one in the same game. The performance stood out against a Steelers defense boosted by offseason acquisitions, and the offense exceeded outside expectations. First-year coach Aaron Glenn chose Fields to replace Aaron Rodgers and praised the quarterback's performance as outstanding. The result left the Jets optimistic about continued improvement despite the defeat.
