"At halftime, Aaron Glenn had only one thing on his mind. The New York Jets' head coach walked off the field, his team down by seven and en route to its seventh straight loss to open the season in a 13-6 decision to the Carolina Panthers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon. His hand-picked starting quarterback, Justin Fields, had completed just half of his passing attempts and had thrown for just 46 yards."
"Fields had taken his last snap of the afternoon. Fittingly, he'd been sacked for a loss of 10 yards on the final play of the half. The Jets appeared to have time to run one more play, but Glenn said he just wanted to get out of it and get into halftime. As the head coach, you have to take a look at the team to see what is best for you to put yourself in position to go win the game, said Glenn."
Aaron Glenn benched Justin Fields at halftime after the Jets fell behind and ultimately lost 13-6 to the Carolina Panthers, marking the team's seventh straight defeat. Fields completed half of his passes for 46 yards and took his final snap of the first half before being sacked for a 10-yard loss. Glenn communicated his plan to the offensive staff and consulted with Fields and backup Tyrod Taylor before the third quarter. Fields said he was surprised but understood the decision. The Jets' offense struggled with an early turnover, missed targets, multiple sacks, and limited production throughout the game.
