Overview

  • New York lost 29-27 at Tampa Bay after taking a late 27-26 lead on Will McDonald IV’s blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, followed by a 36-yard Bucs field goal at the buzzer.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn ran the sideline and danced after the go-ahead play, drawing sharp criticism from commentators such as Mike Francesa and a wave of fan support online.
  • Glenn insisted the Jets are not the “same old Jets,” saying he will focus on what went well and leave the negative framing to the media as he emphasized long-season improvement.
  • Performance concerns persisted, with reports noting a lack of pass rush against a depleted Buccaneers line, missed tackles, and repeated late-game defensive breakdowns.
  • Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor called the 0-3 start frustrating but said the locker room remains confident, with a Monday night Week 4 game offering a chance to respond.
