Overview

• Fields went 16-of-22 for 218 yards with one passing touchdown and added 48 rushing yards with two scores in the 34-32 loss to Pittsburgh.
• He logged nine designed runs and only six incompletions, reflecting a plan built to leverage his dual-threat strengths.
• ESPN’s Ben Solak praised the minimization of negative plays and highlighted that New York’s system is constructed for Fields.
• The Jets’ reshuffled line, with Joe Tippmann at right guard and Josh Myers at center after Alijah Vera-Tucker’s season-ending triceps injury, allowed one sack and helped produce 182 rushing yards.
• Attention shifts to Week 2 at Buffalo, viewed as an early measure of whether the fit and efficiency can carry forward.
