Jets Lose 20–17 in Overtime After Surrendering Late Lead

Penalty breakdowns, a disputed overtime choice followed by sacks in extra time opened the door for Green Bay's rookie kicker, leaving the Jets with urgent work on discipline and protection.

Overview

  • The Jets fell 20–17 to the Green Bay Packers in overtime after giving up a double-digit fourth-quarter lead on Sunday.
  • Skyy Moore’s long punt return set up the tying field goal and rookie kicker Trey Smack converted the game-winning kick in overtime.
  • The teams combined for 27 penalties for nearly 300 yards, and a late Jarvis Brownlee unnecessary-roughness penalty advanced Green Bay into comfortable field-goal range.
  • Coach Aaron Glenn’s decision to receive to start overtime put the offense on the field first, where Geno Smith was sacked twice and a false start pushed the Jets to third-and-30 and stalled their drive.
  • New York outgained Green Bay 285–199 but must correct red-zone execution, situational play-calling and offensive-line protection before its Week 3 trip to Detroit.
