After leading the New York Jets to their first victory of the season, starting quarterback Justin Fields expressed how emotional the moment was for him.

LeSean McCoy was not feeling the Jets quarterback being so vulnerable during his press conference. During a segment on the “Speakeasy” podcast, McCoy explained why he did not like Fields getting so emotional at the press conference.

“I was in his position before, and I didn’t have his career at all; it was actually the opposite,” McCoy said. “I do all these good things, and then it came to a point where I got older and had coaches say, ‘You know what, I know you were this good, I know your name is LeSean McCoy and all that. But guess what, for us, we don’t want you for that, we want you to be a mentor.’

“How do you think I felt? Am I’m being real with you. I had to suck it up and get to my job. Every time you have a good game, you’re going to have an emotional breakdown? It’s the NFL we’re playing in! There are guys who get paid all this money, and a dude beat them out, and they don’t get any of it. You don’t do that,” McCoy continued.

During the press conference, Fields shared how the win will catapult him for the rest of the season and how his faith has helped him through the tough moments.

“When I was on the field, I was damn near about to start crying,” Fields said. “Not because we won, but just because of the goodness of god and just how everything works for the greater good. Everything I’ve been through the past week … I’m just thankful.”

“In that moment when I was talking to my best friend, you know how hard it was, and not wavering faith-wise,” Fields continued. “I had just gotten a text from my sister and my stepmom and it was just an encouraging texts on just keep going and keep spreading the faith."

"It was just a sign from God for me to keep going and that I'm in the right place,” Fields added.
