New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn explained his decision to bench quarterback Justin Fields in "coach speak." Sounding exactly like a head coach in the NFL, Glenn said he was hoping for a "spark" in sitting Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor in an eventual 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers (4-3) in Week 7.
However, it was after all a win against the only winless team in the league - and you don't get much credit for that. As such, the Panthers have only gotten a small bump in the latest power rankings from Matt Johnson at Sportsnaut. They're No. 20 now, up one spot from last week.
New York Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched during his team's NFL Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Cincinnati Bengals host the Jets at Paycor Stadium in Week 8, on Oct. 26. Fields completed six of his 12 attempts for 46 passing yards. He was sacked three times.
The NFL's only winless team pulled quarterback Justin Fields from Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and replaced him with veteran backup Tyrod Taylor to start the second half.
How many times in franchise history have the Bengals played a team that was 0-7 or worse, and what is their record in those games?
Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby appears to have avoided a major injury in Week 7. Crosby, who left the contest due to a knee injury, should be OK after the team's Week 8 bye, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Bryce Young threw a touchdown pass before leaving with an ankle injury, and Jaycee Horn grabbed two interceptions as the Carolina Panthers beat the New York Jets 13-6.
