Overview
- The Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders dropped the Jets to 2-6 Tuesday and marked their third straight defeat and a 5-20 record since Aaron Glenn was hired.
- New York surrendered a nine-point second-half lead as the defense repeatedly gave up big plays, with Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins producing one of his most efficient passing games.
- Five of the Jets’ six losses this season have been by one score, a pattern of close defeats that has amplified media and fan scrutiny of coaching and situational mistakes.
- Glenn told reporters he is focused on improving the team each week, acknowledged the NFL is a bottom-line business, and said the team still has nine games to change the narrative.
- Several players publicly defended Glenn, but the trip to Kansas City this week is widely framed in coverage as an immediate test that will shape the postseason evaluation by ownership.
