In Florham Park, euphoria is in the air for the New York Jets after the outstanding performance of their quarterback, Justin Fields, in the first game of the season. The team, far from boasting, celebrates Fields’ performance, showing confidence in his potential.
Garrett Wilson, wide receiver, expressed the team’s excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead. Fields, who faced criticism during the preseason, proved his worth with an impressive game in his debut, scoring two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown, completing 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards. His total QBR (79.4) was one of the highest in his 45 starts. Despite the defeat suffered against the Steelers by 34-32 in the last minute, Fields’ performance has injected confidence into the team ahead of the match against the Bills at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Wilson, who shared a team with Fields at Ohio State, highlighted his quarterback’s aggressive mentality and willingness to run, qualities that infect the team. Fields ran 12 times for 48 yards against the Steelers.We haven’t reached our ceiling yet, and neither have we.

After Aaron Rodgers’ departure, the Jets bet on Fields with a two-year, $40 million contract, hoping to revitalize his career. In the first game, Fields showed better-than-expected accuracy, fitting the ball into tight spaces. He demonstrated his ability both in and out of the pocket.This game rewards those who love it… and he loves the game. He plays the right way and has the right mentality. Every time he goes out on the field, the whole team is infected, right?

Coach Aaron Glenn, although cautious, couldn’t resist commenting on previous media criticisms.Things like that for receivers are like a dream. All of a sudden, you’re just running routes and you get the opportunity and you play a little street football and it’s open. Yeah, man, we’re all excited.

Fields’ 33-yard touchdown to Wilson evoked memories for Josh Myers, who also played with them at Ohio State. Jeremy Ruckert, another former Buckeyes player, was the first to congratulate Wilson. Fields commented that he felt like old times, just like Myers. The team could face challenges with the possible absence of Josh Reynolds due to a hamstring injury. Tyler Johnson and Allen Lazard, who didn’t play last week, could join Wilson as the main receivers. In addition, cornerback Sauce Gardner also presents a new injury.I think every one of you criticized him all preseason for what he couldn’t do, and I think he just showed what he can do.
