Jets' Justin Fields Pledges More Aggressive Approach After London Passing Debacle

Fields says a calculated push downfield could revive a passing game that just hit a franchise low in London.

Overview

  • After a 13-11 loss to Denver in London with minus-10 net passing yards and nine sacks, the 0-6 Jets will keep Fields as the Week 7 starter.
  • Fields acknowledged being too conservative and vowed to take more downfield shots, noting he has not thrown an interception this season.
  • He revealed a lingering leg contusion from the Miami game has affected his mobility but said he is feeling better this week.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn and coordinator Tanner Engstrand encouraged a "more aggressive, not reckless" mindset, including trusting receivers in man coverage.
  • Top target Garrett Wilson is unlikely to play because of a knee issue and Josh Reynolds is also uncertain, and ESPN reports another poor outing could put Fields at risk of being replaced by Tyrod Taylor against Carolina.
