Overview

  • New York lost 29-27 at Tampa Bay after Will McDonald IV blocked a field goal and returned it about 50 yards for a late lead before the Buccaneers answered with a 36-yard game-winner.
  • Aaron Glenn sprinted and danced down the sideline after the return, prompting widespread criticism including a rebuke from Mike Francesa for acting like a cheerleader.
  • Glenn pushed back on what he called New York media negativity, rejected the 'same old Jets' label, and said the focus is on building and improvement rather than moral victories.
  • The defense has underperformed with 16 missed tackles against the Bucs per PFF and 86 points allowed through three games, and it generated just one sack and two QB hits on Baker Mayfield.
  • Tyrod Taylor went 26-of-37 for 197 yards with two touchdowns, a pick-six and a lost fumble while being pressured on 44% of dropbacks, and the Jets look to regroup before Monday night in Miami.
