Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets dropped to 0-6, losing to the Denver Broncos 13-11 in Week 6. Going into the game, the Jets were the only team in the NFL without a win, and they remain that way.

Quarterback Justin Fields completed 9-of-17 passes for 45 yards, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 58.7 passer rating. He was also sacked nine times, losing a total of 55 yards.

As the losing continues, there have been calls for Glenn to make significant changes. That includes potentially benching Fields in favor of backup Tyrod Taylor, who is in his second season with the Jets.

During his postgame press conference, Glenn was asked whether Fields would be the starting quarterback for the Jets' Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers.

Glenn had no problem deciding what he was going to do and even brushing the question off, saying, "C'mon, man. What kind of question is that?"

Through five games, Fields has completed 80-of-123 passes for 799 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He has rushed for 235 yards and three touchdowns.

The Jets' front office has put a lot of resources into Fields, hoping he'd be a serviceable option, signing him to a two-year, $40 million deal this offseason.

Just six games into that contract, though, faith among the fanbase is wavering, yet Glenn continues to stick by the 26-year-old veteran.

New York's matchup against the Panthers provides an opportunity to pick up a win. ESPN's matchup predictor gives the Jets a 51% chance of winning. Kickoff is next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, airing on Fox.
