The Jets said Fields will be their starting quarterback Sunday against the Bengals. Backup Tyrod Taylor was ruled out and didn't make the trip to Cincinnati because of a knee injury that kept him limited all week in practice. Rookie Brady Cook will be the backup when the Jets, 0-7, try to win their first game before next week's bye.
Season 1 of the Bill Belichick era has been a train wreck. The Tar Heels have beaten just one FBS opponent - a 1-5 Charlotte team that is ranked 129th nationally in ESPN's SP+ ratings - and have given up 120 points in their three defeat. ... Carolina has been outscored 55-6 in the first half of its past two games, vs. UCF and Clemson.
