The Jets went 3-14 in the 2025 regular season, losing seven games in a row to start the season and then five in a row to end it. The Jets also infamously managed to go an entire 17-game schedule without recording a single interception, the first team to do that in NFL history. (They also only had four takeaways, the fewest in NFL history.) For Aaron Glenn and the Jets, the goal in 2026 is simple: competence.
Come back Thursday night for the Jets’ week-to-week schedule, plus season analysis and predictions.
