Jets' brutal Week 3 loss shows how much they need Justin Fields

The New York Jets lost their third consecutive game to begin the Aaron Glenn era, falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a final score of 29-27 in Week 3. And if that loss proved one thing, it's that the Jets need Justin Fields.

This isn't to say that Tyrod Taylor was especially bad against the Bucs, especially given the bar that was set by Fields the previous week. The veteran QB finished the game completing 26-of-36 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

Much of that production came in the fourth quarter, when the Jets put together consecutive 10+ play touchdown drives to rally back from down 23-6.
