Days away from Thanksgiving, we are more than halfway through the 2025 season in the NFL. Thus far, we’ve seen teams like the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> and New England Patriots<\/a> leave their marks and become true contenders in the AFC. Both teams underwent extensive rebuilds to achieve this level of success this season. Unfortunately, the New York Jets<\/a> aren’t in a similar situation. Injuries, poor execution, and major roster changes have the team at 2-8 in Aaron Glenn’s first season as head coach. Despite their faults, there’s hope for the future after having a top-five running game in the league. Alas, quarterback Justin Fields has been unable to progress as they’d hoped. As a result, Fields has been benched<\/a> in favor of veteran backup Tyrod Taylor. The 36-year-old journeyman will likely be the starting quarterback for the Jets the rest of 2025.<\/p>\n

The #Jets<\/a> are making a QB change, going with Tyrod Taylor as Justin Fields goes to the bench.<\/p>\n

Coach Aaron Glenn insinuated last week this could be coming. Now, he\u2019s informed both parties. pic.twitter.com\/HpTTuE20r9<\/a><\/p>\n
