New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields | Al Bello/GettyImagesOne week after scoffing at reporters about the possibility of a quarterback change, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn reversed course and benched Justin Fields at halftime in favor of Tyrod Taylor against the Carolina Panthers. The Ohio State product finished just 6-for-12 for 46 yards and added 22 yards on four rushing attempts.
