Aaron Glenn noncommittal on Justin Fields as Jets starter despite first win of the season Justin Fields led the New York Jets on a wild comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on the road over the weekend, but earning the suffering franchise its first win of the season wasn’t enough to solidify him as the starting quarterback heading into the bye week.
Fields has been the starter for the Jets through seven winless weeks in his first season with the team, but entering Week 8 against the Bengals, there were numerous reports speculating that backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor would be getting the nod against Cincinnati.

The situation took a surprising turn as Fields went 21-of-32 for 244 yards and a touchdown, along with 31 yards on 11 rushes in the thrilling 39-38 win. He also threw a pass and had a run for 2-point conversions. Fields’ standout performance has naturally led to speculation about what the organization will do next at the quarterback position. But on Monday, Glenn seemed unmoved to make a decision. JETS' JUSTIN FIELDS REVEALS WHY HE WAS 'CRYING ON THE GROUND' IN CLOSET BEFORE FIRST WIN OF SEASON 'I think you know what my answer's going to be on that,' Glenn said when asked if Fields would be the starter against Cleveland on Nov. 9. 'This is the bye week, and we're going to focus on us. And, listen, I have time to make that decision. Again, that's one of the good things of the bye week.' Glenn added, 'But seriously, man, this gives us a chance to really just hone in on the good, bad and ugly and try to get those things worked out because we know we have a ways to go.' Fields revealed his emotions about the season after the win, saying that he was on the floor of his closet at one point during the week, crying.

The Jets will have time off to reflect on the win before returning home to take on the Browns, who face a quarterback dilemma of their own. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
