While all the focus on the New York Jets relates to their own quarterback position this past week with Justin Fields being benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor.
Taylor is not going to be the only QB on the field in Week 12, though.
On Sunday the Jets (2-8) travel to face the Baltimore Ravens (5-5) at M&T Bank Stadium. That means a battle against Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson.
New York’s defense knows it will be tough trying to stop Jackson now that he’s back to full health.
“He does [look healthy]. And if he doesn’t look like himself, he still looks pretty damn good,” New York head coach Aaron Glenn said. “He’ll be a challenge.”
One player who knows Jackson better than anyone on the Jets defense will be cornerback Brandon Stephens. The defender signed in New York this offseason and left Baltimore to do so but Stephens downplayed facing his former team.
