This opens the door to potentially benching Justin Fields if he has another bad game.

“When you look at what Fields did, the games that he played,” Glenn told reporters. “Listen, I didn’t think he was bad at all. I actually thought he did some pretty good things in those four games. In this fifth game, he took a step back. I’m with you guys 100 percent. And we can’t have that. And we have to get better than that. And he knows that. And he knows that better than anyone. So I don’t think you try to bench a player after having one true bad game. Because I thought the other games he played fairly well.”

Fields' job looks to be safe for Week 7, which is a home game against the Panthers and a possible chance for the Jets offense to get right. But, the Panthers have been better lately. The Jets then play the Bengals in Week 8 before a bye in Week 9. Taylor would likely get the chance to start if the team does make a move, but these next couple weeks look to be a perfect opportunity for Fields to solidify his starting position.
