Jets Lose to Patriots as Glenn Backs Fields, Rejects Run-Heavy Plan
Aaron Glenn prioritizes Justin Fields’ health over expanding his rushing role.
Overview
- New England beat New York 27-14 at Gillette Stadium after the Jets opened with a touchdown drive.
- Justin Fields finished with 116 passing yards and 11 rushes for 67 yards, accounting for two scores.
- A late fourth-quarter fumble by Fields in Jets territory led to Patriots points that effectively sealed the result.
- New York’s offense stalled following its strong start, including three consecutive three-and-outs and just 245 total yards.
- Glenn praised some of Fields’ play but said he is "not a running back" and cautioned against relying on designed QB runs, while Fields said his performance was "not good enough."
