"But the NFL is a week-to-week league, and things can look radically different one week than they did the one before. Such is the case in Florham Park, New Jersey, after a Fields-led comeback produced the Jets' first win of the season and Glenn's first as a head coach. And for one week at least, Fields gets to hold his head high, knowing there's a very recent affirmative answer to whether he should continue to start for the Jets."
"Fields ended Sunday's contest 21-of-32 passing for 244 yards and a touchdown pass. There was only one touchdown pass, because the Jets let running back Breece Hall throw the one that put them in the lead with just under two minutes remaining. Fields also rushed for 31 yards on 11 carries. Most importantly, he showed a level of poise and confidence in the pocket that he hadn't shown since Week 1's heartbreaking loss to the Steelers."
Jets owner Woody Johnson publicly criticized Justin Fields following poor performances in prior weeks. Coach Aaron Glenn considered benching Fields for Tyrod Taylor, but Taylor's injury forced Fields to start at Cincinnati. Fields completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards, rushed for 31 yards on 11 carries, and displayed renewed poise and confidence in the pocket. The comeback delivered the Jets' first win of the season and Glenn's first victory as head coach. Week-to-week NFL results can rapidly change evaluations, and several weekly overreactions are compared, including defensive player predictions, trade windows, pass-rush needs, playoff chances, and fantasy implications.
