Justin Fields Suffers Concussion: Jets Crushed by Bills and in Crisis

In a day marked by concern, New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields suffered a concussion during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, putting his participation in the third week of the season in doubt. This situation adds to the existing ones for the team, which has accumulated two losses without victories. Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed, after the 30-10 defeat at MetLife Stadium, that Fields is in concussion protocol. The hit occurred in the final quarter after a sack by defensive end Joey Bosa, leaving the team in a complicated situation. Tyrod Taylor replaced Fields and, in case he doesn’t recover, would be the starter in the next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Taylor had a discreet performance in his season debut, with a touchdown pass in stoppage time. Disappointment took over the atmosphere after the defeat against the Bills. Coach Glenn expressed his frustration and disappointment with the team’s performance.

It’s not okay to lose like this. It’s not acceptable to lose this way.

Glenn, visibly affected, announced that he will evaluate all aspects of the organization, including his own work. The team failed to keep up the pace, falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter and 20-3 at halftime. The coach emphasized the need to analyze each player and coach to identify areas for improvement. The lack of discipline and physical solidity were evident in the game. A penalty for contact on the passer extended the Bills’ first offensive series, which culminated in a touchdown. In addition, the Jets lost a ball and suffered a penalty that benefited their rivals. The team was outplayed in the running game, with 224 yards from the Bills versus 100 from the Jets, and allowed 70 yards on missed tackles.

We have to be better in every aspect: silly penalties, missed tackles, everything.

Fields underperformed, setting career lows in completed passes and yards. His accuracy was poor, wasting opportunities for advancement. Coach Glenn refrained from evaluating his quarterback’s performance, limiting himself to saying he would analyze the game recording.

It’s very frustrating. I always feel like we have a good plan and a good week of practice, but then we go out and don’t perform when it matters.

Garret Wilson

In his post-game speech, Glenn shared his experiences as a coach with the Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints, recalling similar situations and reaffirming the team’s determination.

We are not going to budge an inch. We are going to play the type of game we say we are going to play, and our players will improve.
