"The 2-8 Jets rank last in passing yards per game (139.9), 26th in passing touchdowns (11), and 24th in completion percentage (62.5) Fields was at the forefront of it all, completing 62.7% of his passes for 1,259 yards, seven passing touchdowns, and one interception. He passed for fewer than 120 yards in four of his last five games, including Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots, in which he completed 15 of 26 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown."
"Pressure came from owner Woody Allen to bench Fields on Oct. 21 after bashing the quarterback for his play. Glenn might have obliged ahead of that Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Taylor was unavailable due to a knee injury. Fields followed it up with one of his strongest performances of the season, going 21-of-32 for 244 yards and a score."
Justin Fields lasted a little more than half a season as the New York Jets' franchise quarterback before head coach Aaron Glenn opted to start veteran backup Tyrod Taylor for Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields signed a two-year deal after failing to stick with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers and offered dual-threat capabilities. The Jets posted the NFL's worst passing offense, ranking last in passing yards per game (139.9), 26th in passing touchdowns (11), and 24th in completion percentage (62.5). Fields completed 62.7% for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception, missed one game with a concussion, and had four of five recent games under 120 passing yards. Owner Woody Allen pressured a benching on Oct. 21; Taylor was unavailable for an earlier chance due to a knee injury, and Fields briefly rebounded with a 21-of-32, 244-yard game.
