The New York Jets have now lost five games in a row, after bowing to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Buffalo defeated New York, 31-12. Following the game, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn tried to keep his composure when describing what happened.
“Definitely frustrated. 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 said, per The Athletic.
Glenn is trying to remain positive, but that certainly can't be easy. His squad is now 2-8 on the season, and Glenn has just five total wins as New York's head coach. He has yet to win a game over an AFC East opponent.
The Jets got even more bad news in the Bills game when starting quarterback Geno Smith went down with injury. Smith wouldn't return to the game after hurting his ankle. He was replaced by Cade Klubnik, who struggled to lead the offense.
New York would end the game converting just three of their third down attempts.
“Aaron Glenn said he thought the guys fought hard in the first half but a couple of big plays in the second half “derailed” them,” The Athletic posted to X.
Smith wasn't the only Jets player to get hurt. Wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. also had to leave the game after hurting his ankle.
New York hasn't posted a winning season in more than a decade. That drought seems almost assured to continue, following Sunday's loss to the Bills. The Jets have to win out the last seven games, in order to finish just 9-8.
The Jets next play the Los Angeles Chargers on November 22.
