In the aftermath of a back-and-forth high-scoring Week 1 game, QB Justin Fields said he was unfazed by the number of points put on the board by the opponent.

For No. 7, taking punches and delivering punches is part of the game, and the young veteran said he keeps himself ready to respond no matter the circumstances. As the Jets now prepare to face a notoriously high-scoring offense when they host the Bills in Week 2, the game plan remains the same.

"We're always ready to put up a lot of points," Fields said. "But our goal is to put up one more point than them on Sunday, so that's all that matters."

The Bills will come to MetLife Stadium fresh off a 41-40 fourth-quarter comeback victory over the Ravens in Week 1. Orchestrated by reigning league MVP Josh Allen, this high-scoring affair was no isolated incident. Buffalo ranked second in points per game (30.9) across the league last season, and the team has scored 30-plus points in four straight road contests dating back to Week 8 of 2024.

And while Fields led his offense in a high-scoring affair of their own (the team recorded the most points in a Week 1 contest since 2018), his focus is now on the plays that weren't made, rather than those that were.

"There's a lot of stuff that we can improve on," Fields said. "There were some plays that you want back always. And we're playing an imperfect game, but we're trying to be perfect. AG [HC Aaron Glenn] said that to us out there today. We're looking to be perfect. We all understand that it's not necessarily going to be like that, but that's what we're striving for."

Fields said offensively, Week 1 was "a good way to start up the season" despite the loss. The production started with the ground game -- No. 7 was elusive, recording 48 yards on the ground and 2 rushing scores. But his production in the air was equally as impressive -- he recorded 218 passing yards, 1 TD and a 119.1 passer rating.

"Well, that's always been the plan, to let him play quarterback, and whatever the game plan consists of, you know, he's going to go out there and he's going to operate as best he can," Glenn said. … "We're going to see the things that he likes, and we're also going to progress with the things he's not good at, so he can get better in that aspect. So, this is still a work in progress. And we're going to continue to work with him, and I know, just because of the type of person that he is and how he's always been, he's going to do everything he can to perfect that. Again, I look forward to seeing him, how he matures through the season."

Not only has Fields earned the trust of his head coach, but he has also developed a strong relationship with his OC, Tanner Engstrand. Fields said he has enjoyed learning from the first-year play caller, who he believes can help the Jets' offensive weapons reach their potential this season.

"I think to be an OC in this league, everybody has to have knowledge of the game," Fields said. "But I think there's a difference between knowledge of the game, and when you get in the game moments. He does a really good job of that -- kind of listening to me in terms of what I like and what I don't like, stuff like that. So, I appreciate that coming from him."

While Fields and company may have set the bar high with a strong Week 1 performance, earning the team's first win and continuing to find ways to progress remains top priority.

"You just want to keep improving," Fields said. … "We're kind of hoping that was the worst game we'll play all season. That's the kind of mindset we want to have -- we want to continue to get better each and every game."
