"Glenn's trademark bravado, which surfaced after previous losses, was gone after the latest defeat -- a 37-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. He was introspective, largely blaming himself for the 0-5 record -- the Jets' third such start in the last 30 years. "When something bad happens, the response isn't where we need to be -- and I have to look at myself on that," said Glenn, repeating that sentiment several times in his post-game news conference."
"The Jets became the first team in NFL history to take an oh-fer on takeaways in the first five games. That covers nearly one century, as turnovers became an official stat in 1933. The defense, among the league's best in recent years, is yielding 31.7 points per game. The Jets are on pace to allow the most points in franchise history, and yet Glenn still is supporting defensive coordinator Steve Wilks."
The New York Jets started Aaron Glenn's tenure 0-5 after a 37-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, marking the first Jets coach to begin with five straight losses. The defense recorded no takeaways in the first five games, the first team in NFL history to do so since turnovers became an official stat in 1933. The defense is allowing 31.7 points per game and the team is on pace to allow the most points in franchise history. Glenn took personal responsibility for the slow start while continuing to support defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and declining plans to take over play calling.
