EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields finally got benched.
After a dismal first half Sunday, Fields was replaced by backup Tyrod Taylor on the Jets' first offensive drive after halftime with New York trailing the Carolina Panthers 13-3.
It's coach Aaron Glenn's first public acknowledgement that Fields isn't working out as the starting quarterback.

Fields, sacked nine times last week for -10 net yards passing, had vowed to be more aggressive with his decision-making. But nothing worked. He completed only 6 of 12 passes for 46 yards and was sacked three times. Th
