Overview
- Owner Woody Johnson voiced confidence in first-year coach Aaron Glenn and blamed poor quarterback play for the 0-7 start, saying the decision on who starts is the coach’s call.
- ESPN, citing sources, reports Glenn is moving toward naming Tyrod Taylor the starter, with an announcement anticipated before Week 8 against Cincinnati.
- Glenn pulled Justin Fields at halftime of the 13-6 loss to Carolina, and later said he would consult coaches inside and outside the organization on the quarterback decision.
- The Jets are the NFL’s only winless team, rank near the bottom in passing, and have not scored a touchdown since Week 5.
- Fields has struggled badly in recent weeks, including minus-10 net passing yards in Week 6, while Taylor threw two interceptions in relief Sunday and did not end the scoring drought.
