Jets Keep QB Starter Under Wraps for Thursday Night Visit to Patriots

Aaron Glenn is treating the choice as a competitive advantage after back-to-back wins with Justin Fields.

Overview

  • As of Wednesday, the Jets have not disclosed who will start at quarterback against New England on Thursday.
  • Glenn declined to answer quarterback questions this week, continuing a recent pattern of withholding the decision before kickoff.
  • Fields has started all but one game this season and is widely assumed to get the nod on a short week after two straight wins.
  • Despite the victories, Fields ranks 29th in EPA per play (-0.039) and leads an offense averaging 21.7 points per game, with under 60 passing yards in three of his last four outings.
  • Tyrod Taylor was once viewed as the likely replacement before a knee injury, and he is now presumably healthy as a viable alternative if Glenn opts for a change.
