Justin Fields’ Week 8 success for the Jets in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals was a surprise to many of us. It continues one of the biggest roller coaster seasons in recent memory.
ESPN’s QBR metric grades quarterbacks on a scale of 1 to 100 based on their play. Week 8 was his sixth start of 2025. Fields posted his third highest single game QBR of the season with a 67.0.
Fields’ fourth highest single game QBR this year was the 11.9 he posted one week earlier against the Carolina Panthers, a game that saw him benched at halftime.
I doubt we have seen many six game stretches where a QBR is above 67 half the time and below 12 half the time. Fields’ career has been full of high highs and low lows, but this is a bit extreme even by his standards.
