The New York Jets suffered another embarrassing defeat, falling 35-12 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday to extend their losing streak to four games. Now sitting at 2-7, New York continues to struggle, and head coach Aaron Glenn‘s latest comments have given frustrated fans another reason to question his leadership.
According to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, Glenn defended his players' effort despite their disappointing second-half performance. “I would never question the effort. They put too much work in to not give effort. I'm 100% behind the way these guys played,” Glenn said. He also addressed the possibility of giving up defensive play-calling duties, saying, “I would never say never. I'm looking at everything,” while adding that he would not hesitate to make a change if necessary. Rosenblatt's report on X.
Glenn's comments quickly became a talking point among fans, particularly given the team's poor record and defensive struggles. One fan questioned his claim about the defense, writing, “I'm going to need to see that evidence he is referring to because they are 2-7 and defense is garbage.”
New York's latest loss exposed more problems on both sides of the ball. The Jets scored just 12 points and converted only two of 12 third-down attempts. Kansas City, meanwhile, controlled the game behind Patrick Mahomes, who completed 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns. Kenneth Walker also added 102 rushing yards on 18 carries.
With the season slipping away, Aaron Glenn faces mounting pressure to show that his coaching staff can make meaningful adjustments. His next decisions could prove crucial to restoring confidence in his leadership.
