Jets Confront One-Dimensional Offense After Preseason Passing Struggles

Pressure is mounting to prove the aerial game can function with the final preseason game days away

Overview

  • Justin Fields completed just 1 of 5 passes for 4 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Giants, extending his preseason line to 4 of 9 for 44 yards across two games
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn publicly labeled the offense “sloppy” and insisted the passing attack must improve before the regular season
  • The Jets leaned heavily on their running backs in exhibition play, but analysts warn that football can’t succeed with such a one-dimensional approach
  • Defensive injuries to starters like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams contributed to multiple explosive plays allowed, highlighting depth concerns
  • With one preseason game left and limited full practices before Week 1, New York faces urgent decisions on quarterback reps and roster adjustments
