Former Ohio State player Justin Fields saves NFL career with game-winning drive

Former Ohio State football player Justin Fields has had a roller coaster of an NFL career. He went from being a first-round pick of the Chicago Bears to possibly being a backup for the rest of his career after he was benched against the Panthers. Fields had to start this week because Tyrod Taylor had an injured knee.

Fields made the most of his second chance with the New York Jets. He was 21/32 for 244 yards and a touchdown through the air while adding 32 rushing yards on the ground. Playing against Joe Flacco and the Bengals, Fields had a chance to lead a game-winning drive in Cincinnati.
