FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Justin Fields wants to start letting loose a little.

Good thing, too, since the New York Jets’ struggling offense can certainly use something different.

Fields is taking care of the football this season with no interceptions through his first five starts, a statistical oddity in what has been an otherwise rough go for the quarterback. The passing game has been anything but threatening during the Jets’ 0-6 start, with the team’s franchise-worst minus-10 net yards passing in its 13-11 loss to Denver last Sunday in London a glaring example.

So, Fields thinks he might need to take a few more risks down the field, starting Sunday against Carolina.

“Yeah, most definitely,” he said. “I feel like I’ve been a little bit too conservative, in a sense. Probably just be a little bit more aggressive. I’ve always just been big on ball security and not putting the ball in jeopardy, but it comes to a point where you’ve just got to find that healthy balance between trying to maybe fit it in smaller windows and just letting it rip.”

Fields has thrown only nine of his 123 passes this season for 20 or more yards, while completing four of them for 108 yards and two touchdowns, according to Sportradar. That’s just 7.3% of his throws, nearly 4% fewer than the NFL average.

He’s 14 of 32 for 265 yards and the two scores on throws of 10 or more yards, making up 26% of his attempts vs. an average of 31.9% by league on similar passes.

“I think I can be more aggressive and throwing no interceptions is a great thing,” Fields said. “But taking some shots down the field and trying to stretch the field a little bit, I think that’s important for us as an offense to create explosive passes.”

Fields’ longest completion this season was a 33-yard touchdown toss to Garrett Wilson in the opener against Pittsburgh. Otherwise, it has been a lot of dink, dunk — and duck.

In the loss to Denver, he was sacked nine times, matching the number of completions he had while going 9 of 17 for a mere 45 yards.

“Everybody is going to throw picks, that’s just a part of playing quarterback,” Fields said. “I looked at myself at this past game and really over the season and kind of just told myself that I can be a little bit more aggressive. This Sunday, probably going to be a little bit more aggressive, but also not being reckless at the same time. So, just being smart when pushing the ball downfield.”
