Overview

• Coach Aaron Glenn replaced Fields with Tyrod Taylor to start the second half as New York trailed Carolina 10-3, a change greeted by cheers at MetLife Stadium, according to the Associated Press.
• Fields was 6-of-12 for 46 yards before the switch, a continuation of last week’s nine-sack, minus-10 net passing yards performance in London.
• Earlier in the second quarter, Panthers safety Nick Scott was flagged for an unnecessary-roughness hit on a sliding Fields, who was evaluated in the medical tent for a concussion and cleared to return.
• Glenn had publicly defended Fields’ playing style days earlier, invoking Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, a comparison challenged by time-to-throw data showing Fields among the league’s slowest.
• The Jets entered Week 7 at 0-6 and were without top receiver Garrett Wilson due to a knee issue, intensifying scrutiny on the offense as the Nov. 4 trade deadline approaches.
