Overview

  • Aaron Glenn branded his team “sloppy” at halftime and decried an overall “undisciplined” performance postgame, singling out penalty issues as the root cause of the blowout loss.
  • The Jets were flagged seven times for 65 yards against the Giants after committing 10 penalties for 91 yards in Week 1, underscoring a persistent discipline problem.
  • Quarterback Justin Fields completed just 3 of 5 passes for 14 yards across two drives, deepening uncertainty over his hold on the starting role.
  • Despite the loss, Glenn praised rookie receiver Quentin Skinner (4 catches, 48 yards, 1 TD) and linebacker Brandon Smith as rare bright spots in an otherwise erratic showing.
  • Depth evaluations remain in flux as pass rusher Will McDonald sat out with a knee issue, veteran Tyrod Taylor rehabs from surgery and undrafted QB Brady Cook battles back from injury.
