Jets quarterback Justin Fields offers blunt reaction to benching

Retired NYPD Lt. Darrin Porcher joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the search for the suspect who shot Jets cornerback Kris Boyd and Zohran Mamdani’s meeting with the NYPD commissioner over crime policy.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields had a blunt reaction after he was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.  

Fields, 26, didn’t have much to say as he was going to get a massage, adding that he didn’t have time to talk, the New York Post's Brian Costello reported. 

"There’s no reaction. That’s life. S--- happens," Fields remarked.

Jets running back Breece Hall took issue with how Costello approached Fields at his locker and called him out over social media. 

"Pathetic move by you (to be honest). Wish some of yall would grow up and stop acting like little kids nagging somebody till they get mad lol," Hall posted to X.

The Jets signed Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract, with $30 million guaranteed, to become the starter after releasing Aaron Rodgers. The quarterback has shown flashes this season but has largely struggled.
