CINCINNATI — The New York Jets ended a seven-game losing streak on Sunday with a 39-38 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, a dramatic result that came on a day the organization was also mourning the death of former center Nick Mangold.

Justin Fields, who started after backup Tyrod Taylor was ruled out with a knee injury, completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown and added 31 rushing yards. Fields helped New York produce 502 total yards, including 254 on the ground, and the offense scored 23 points in the fourth quarter. Running back Breece Hall rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns and threw a four-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Mason Taylor with 1:54 remaining for the decisive score.
The Jets rallied from a 15-point deficit in the third quarter, converting two fourth-quarter two-point attempts and forcing a late Cincinnati turnover on downs to secure the victory. Bengals veteran Joe Flacco finished 21 of 34 for 223 yards with two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown, and receiver Ja'Marr Chase had 12 catches for 91 yards....
