Jets’ Justin Fields Reacts on Video to Hearing No 0-5 Team Has Ever Made NFL Playoffs

After Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields had a bullish reaction to hearing that no team in NFL history has ever made the playoffs after starting the season with a 0-5 record.

“There’s a first time for everything, brother,” Fields told reporters. “The team is good, we have a locker room full of warriors, a locker room full of men that want to get better.”

The Jets remained winless after falling 37-22 in front of their home fans at MetLife Stadium in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score makes it seem. The team was trailing 10-3 and made it to the red zone late in the first half before a fumble by Breece Hall kicked off a series of unfortunate events that resulted in a 23-3 halftime deficit.

Fields threw for 283 yards and a pair of touchdowns that came when the game was well out of hand, and he added 26 rushing yards. He was sacked five times while facing a Cowboys defense that ranked among the worst in the NFL entering Sunday’s game.

Still, Fields made it clear that the Jets haven’t given up on the 2025 season as first-year head coach Aaron Glenn tries to rebuild the culture of the downtrodden franchise.

“We’re not looking at ‘no team has ever made the playoffs after an 0-5 start,'” Fields added. “That’s the goal, at the end of the day. We’re not basing our life off of a statistic, so to say.”
