"The Jets had gone for it on fourth down earlier on the drive, converting a fake punt into a first down. Then they went conservative. Bad call. The Jets had to be aggressive there. When you're the only winless team in the NFL, you should play to win instead of not to lose. Wilson began walking off the field with about 10 seconds left while Justin Fields was looking over at the sideline."
"Glenn's reasoning was he didn't want to give Denver the ball back with time left and a shot at a field goal. He was shell-shocked after Dallas scored two late first-half touchdowns against the Jets last week. "I didn't want to put our guys in that situation again," Glenn said. "I think the smart thing to do is run the clock all the way down.""
The Jets traveled to England and lost 13-11 to Denver after conservative late-game choices undermined promising moments. Garrett Wilson openly expressed disappointment when Aaron Glenn chose to run out the clock on fourth-and-1 late in the first half instead of attempting a play, despite an earlier successful fourth-down gamble. Glenn said he feared giving Denver time for a field goal after recent late collapses. The offense struggled through the air while the run game showed more productivity; Breece Hall gained a key first down and a botched snap produced yards, but a sack on the next play and stalled passing cost momentum.
