Jets offense’s 394-yard Week 1 only the start of a quest for perfection
NY Post
The Jets’ 394 yards of total offense represented the sixth-highest output in the NFL in Justin Fields’ team debut, despite a high-scoring Week 1 loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.
Not a shabby start for a team that finished in the bottom 10 in the league (24th) in total yards last season, with Rodgers at quarterback.
Now, the retooled Jets offense needs to do it all over again this Sunday against the potent Bills, who also played a high-scoring game — totaling the most points in the league — in a 41-40 comeback thriller Sunday night against the Ravens.
“We’re always ready to put up a lot of points, but our goal is to put up one more point than them on Sunday,” Fields said after practice Wednesday in Florham Park. “Is it tough to follow that? I guess so. I don’t really know how to answer that. You just want to keep improving.
“I think [defensive tackle] Harrison [Phillips] said it [best]. We’re kind of hoping that’s the worst game we play all season. That’s the mindset we want to have. … But I think this past Sunday was definitely a good way to start off the season, other than the loss.”
In Aaron Glenn’s first game as head coach and Tanner Engstrand’s first as offensive coordinator, the Jets also managed 182 yards on the ground Sunday against Pittsburgh.
