The New York Jets' season continued to unravel on Sunday with a 31-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills, marking their fifth straight defeat. Following the game, head coach Aaron Glenn addressed the media with restraint, opting not to unleash his frustration publicly.
"Definitely frustrated," Glenn said, according to The Athletic. "But I preach to the players that when you're frustrated, where is that frustration channeled? I'm not going to channel my frustration at you guys (the media)."
Glenn's composure is notable given the team's dire circumstances. The Jets now sit at 2-8, and Glenn has secured only five wins since taking over as head coach. He has yet to defeat an AFC East opponent.
Key Analysis
The loss to Buffalo brought additional bad news: starting quarterback Geno Smith exited with an ankle injury and did not return. Cade Klubnik replaced him but struggled to move the offense, and New York converted just three of its third-down attempts. Wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. also left the game with an ankle injury.
Glenn noted that the team fought hard in the first half, but a few big plays in the second half derailed their efforts, per a post from The Athletic on X. The Jets have not had a winning season in over a decade, and that drought appears likely to continue. To finish 9-8, New York would need to win all of its remaining seven games. The Jets next face the Los Angeles Chargers on November 22.
