Overview
- Glenn will face the Lions when the Jets visit Ford Field on Sunday, marking his first game against Detroit since he left to become New York’s head coach in January 2025.
- Dan Campbell has publicly praised Glenn and called his hiring both one of the best and worst days of his life, underscoring a long personal and professional bond between the two coaches.
- Detroit’s defense has struggled through two games, ranking 31st in points, total yards and passing yards allowed, and it is dealing with key secondary injuries including a season-ending foot injury to Avonte Maddox.
- The Jets rank among the league leaders in fewest yards allowed and in both pass and rush defense, but they enter the game riding an NFL-record 19-game stretch without an interception.
- Beyond the on-field matchup, the game serves as an early barometer of Glenn’s head-coaching trajectory and of Kelvin Sheppard’s ability to right a defense that Glenn helped rebuild from near the league bottom into a top-10 unit.
