Overview
- Head coach Aaron Glenn named Tyrod Taylor the Week 12 starter against the Ravens, calling the change his decision after persistent passing struggles.
- ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports the change is not expected to be temporary, with Taylor likely to start the rest of 2025 barring injury and the Jets eyeing a new quarterback in 2026.
- The rationale cited by team watchers is to evaluate receivers such as Mason Taylor, John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell with a more assertive passer.
- Fields has completed 62.7% of his throws for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception in nine starts as the Jets’ passing offense has ranked near the bottom of the league.
- Fields’ first public comment was, “There’s no reaction. That’s life. [Expletive] happens,” and RB Breece Hall criticized a reporter’s approach to the exchange on social media.
