Justin Fields confessed that before leading the New York Jets to their first win of the season, he was literally crying in his closet. Yes, not clout chasing, literally sitting on the floor of his closet, sobbing like he lost a loved one amid all the roughness of the season.
Fields then comes out and leads the New York Jets on their first win of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals and you know what, he credits God for it all!
“It’s been a lot for me emotionally, spiritually. When I was on the field, I was damn near about to start crying, not because we won but because of the goodness of God,” Fields said. “Everything I’ve been through this past week, everything that we’ve been through as a team these past seven weeks, it was a lot of ups and downs, and I got a lot of support from my teammates, from my brothers, from my family, from my friends, and most of all I’m just thankful.” Fields said. “Yesterday I started praying, praying like crazy, just for a win.
“I’m going to get pretty vulnerable right here,” Fields continued. “This week I found myself in my closet crying on the ground, lying down. Not because of the hardships, not because of the troubles. I felt like I was built to handle that … Yesterday I was just praying over and over and over again, just one win.”
“… That’s outside noise at the end of the day. I get that he’s the owner of the team, but that’s outside noise. The biggest thing was my teammates believing in me and my coaches still believing in me.”
New beginning for the Jets?
The big question: can Fields keep winning, or will we see an emotional defeat speech next week?
Watch Justin Fields pour out his emotions…
