After a bruising week of criticism and uncertainty, Jets quarterback Justin Fields steadied himself and his team, engineering a 39-38 comeback over the Bengals at Paycor Stadium. Fields went 21-of-32 for 241 yards and a touchdown, added a two-point run and a falling-down conversion throw, and helped erase a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit. Breece Hall rushed for 133 yards and two scores, then delivered the game-winning 4-yard TD pass to rookie Mason Taylor with 1:54 left. Postgame, coaches and teammates praised Fields’ resilience as the 1-7 Jets celebrated their first win and 254 rushing yards.
