Jets Coach Aaron Glenn Defends QB Justin Fields Despite Winless Record

Despite the New York Jets having a 0-6 start to their 2025 season, head coach Aaron Glenn defended starting quarterback Justin Fields.

Their sixth consecutive losing game was on October 12, when the Jets faced the Denver Broncos in London.

The game was held at the Northumberland Development Project, where the Broncos dominated the game to win 13-11.

It was a bad day for Fields as he only completed 9 out of the 17 pass attempts for a gain of 45 yards.

When asked by a reporter if Fields was going to start as the quarterback for week seven, Glenn was dismissive.

On Monday, Glenn gave a more precise response on whether or not Fields was going to start the game.

Glenn recognized that Fields did not play like he used to, but they will work on it.

“I don’t think you just bench a player after having one true bad game,” Glenn said. “I thought the other games he played fairly well.”

Glenn then said that Fields also knows that he needs to play better, and he knows that better than anyone else.

Glenn also said that the blame is not only on Fields but on other players as well, and he will not put the blame on only Fields.

Throughout the Broncos-Jets game, the Jets had negative 10 on passing yards, while the Broncos had 168 passing yards.

Week 7 comes with a bigger opponent; the Jets will face the 3-3 Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 19.
