The weight of seven consecutive losses had finally broken through New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields as he revealed his feelings around his emotional breakdown following the Jets’ thrilling 39-38 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
“I found myself in my closet crying on the ground, laying down, not because of, not because of the hardships, not because of the troubles. I felt like, you know, I was built to handle that and I was put in place to handle this situation. But in that moment when I was talking to my best friend, you know, how hard it was and just, you know, not wavering faith wise”, Fields stated.

While Fields was pouring his heart out about the difficulties he faced, he also revealed his phone lit up with messages from his sister and stepmom with words of encouragement urging him to keep going and to continue spreading his faith.
“Yesterday, I was just, I was just praying over and over and over again. Like, you know, like this is just one, one win. You know, God is real. God is good. And everything that we go through in this life is for a purpose”, he further elaborated.
Now sitting at 1-7, the Jets have announced their commitment to Fields as their starting quarterback moving forward however the road ahead still remains steep as they’re still missing key players like wide receiver Garrett Wilson due to injury.
Jets Rally From 14-Point Deficit to Stun Cincinnati
Fields against the Bengals completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown, while also converting a critical two-point conversion that helped fuel the Jets’ incredible fourth-quarter rally from a 14-point deficit.
“He’s primed to be able to handle situations like this. It’s so unfair to him, that he gets criticized so much… He’s the perfect person to be able to handle everything that’s been thrown at him”
