Justin Fields gets benched as Jets stay winless after loss to Panthers
"But Tyrod Taylor, who came in for Justin Fields after halftime, threw his second interception to Jaycee Horn at the Panthers' 40-yard line. But the Panthers punted after they went three and out, which gave the Jets another chance with 2:49 remaining. Taylor, however, was sacked on first down, and his pass on third down to Josh Reynolds was incomplete. Gang Green then punted on their own 14-yard line."
"Jets head coach Aaron Glenn benched Fields for Taylor to begin the second half, which the half-filled fans in attendance at MetLife Stadium cheered. Following his 45-yard passing performance against the Broncos last weekend, Fields had another inept performance on Sunday against the Panthers. Gang Green had -10 net passing yards in the loss to Denver. In the first half, Fields completed 6-of-12 passes for 46 yards. The Jets registered just 25 net passing yards during the first 30 minutes."
Panthers defeated the winless Jets 13-6 as Carolina registered six sacks and stifled scoring at MetLife Stadium. With 4:41 remaining, Tyrod Taylor threw his second interception to Jaycee Horn, ending a late comeback attempt. Taylor replaced Justin Fields after halftime, was sacked on a later drive, and his third-down pass to Josh Reynolds was incomplete. Bryce Young left with an ankle injury and Andy Dalton completed 4-of-7 passes for 60 yards. Fields completed 6-of-12 for 46 first-half yards; the Jets had 25 net passing yards in the first half. Coach Aaron Glenn benched Fields after ongoing poor play; Fields has struggled with accuracy and holding the ball too long.
