UPDATE: Tensions flared during a post-game interview as New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn faced tough questions about quarterback Justin Fields following the team’s 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in London on October 12, 2025.
After the Jets dropped to an alarming 0-6 record, reporters pressed Glenn on whether Fields would remain the starter for their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. The exchange escalated when Glenn reacted sharply to a question regarding Fields’ performance, which saw him complete just 9-of-17 passes for a mere 45 yards and suffer nine sacks.
“Come on, man. What kind of question is that?” Glenn shot back, defending his quarterback. “There are a number of guys that — I mean, sometimes this league is like this, and there are guys that have bad games. That doesn’t mean you just bench them. Come on, you know better than that,”
according to The Athletic.
The Jets’ offense has struggled significantly, currently ranking 25th in points scored and 28th in total yards. Fields’ lackluster performance against the Broncos highlighted these issues, as the team recorded a shocking -10 passing yards during the game.
Glenn’s comments come as the Jets attempt to find their footing after a series of disappointing losses, despite showing signs of potential improvement in their games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Looking ahead to their matchup against the Panthers, who recently stunned the Dallas Cowboys, the Jets face mounting pressure to secure their first win. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor and rookie Brady Cook, currently on the practice squad, are in place should the Jets decide to make a change.
This situation not only raises questions about the Jets’ future but also places significant pressure on Fields, who is trying to prove he can lead the team effectively. As the Jets prepare for Week 7, all eyes will be on Glenn’s decision-making and Fields’ performance as the team seeks to break their winless streak.
