Overview

  • The Jets are the NFL’s only winless team and the first on record to go five games without a defensive takeaway, according to ESPN Research.
  • Aaron Glenn is the first Jets coach to open his tenure with five losses, and the defense has allowed roughly 31-plus points per game with a fading pass rush.
  • Players, including Harrison Phillips and Garrett Wilson, say Glenn still commands the locker room as he emphasizes building a foundation alongside a win-now message.
  • New York’s eight giveaways have led to 41 opponent points, with 30 accepted penalties in the past three games and 14 missed tackles against Dallas exacerbating losses.
  • David Saleh criticized Woody Johnson in a social-media post as media scrutiny intensifies; the team has traveled to London to prepare for Denver at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
