Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets set an all-time NFL record for futility. Not only did Glenn become the first coach in team history to start off 0-5, but he did so for a team that has yet to force a turnover on the season. A first in the history of the league.
The box score would suggest that Gang Green may have been in the game. You might look at it and think, “well, the offense wasn’t that bad”. No they were not, and yes they were. Dallas pounded the Jets 37-22 but led 30-3 late in the game before they took their foot off the gas and allowed the Jets to find the end zone a couple of times as Fields found Andrew Beck and Garrett Wilson for fourth quarter touchdowns.
Defensively the Jets had no answer for the Cowboys on the ground or through the air as Javonte Williams carried the ball 16 times for 135 yards (8.4 YPC) while Dak Prescott went 18 for 29 for 237 yards while tossing four touchdown passes.
Now the Jets head to London where they will face the Denver Broncos, who handed the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the season today.
