Aaron Glenn Calls Out Jets’ Discipline After 34-32 Loss, Puts Xavier Gipson on Notice

The head coach framed the opener as a failure of discipline, promising swift consequences before a trip to Buffalo.

Overview

  • Glenn said turnovers and penalties decided the game and warned that players who cause losses will not stay on the field.
  • With the Jets leading early in the fourth quarter, Xavier Gipson fumbled a kickoff after contact from Kenneth Gainwell, and Pittsburgh scored two plays later on an 18-yard touchdown to Calvin Austin III.
  • After New York briefly regained the lead, Brandon Stephens was flagged for a 19-yard pass interference that extended the Steelers’ drive to set up Chris Boswell’s 60-yard game-winning field goal with 1:03 remaining.
  • Glenn described Justin Fields’ performance as outstanding and indicated a positive evaluation pending film review.
  • The coach’s message came against a backdrop of prior discipline concerns, with attention turning to tightening ball security and penalties ahead of the Bills game.
