The New York Jets watched a ten-point fourth quarter lead slip away, falling 20-17 to the Green Bay Packers on a walk-off overtime field goal. Despite dominating time of possession by nearly 11 minutes and holding the Packers to just 208 total yards, late-game conservatism and missed tackles proved costly.
The New York Jets watched a ten-point fourth quarter lead slip away, falling 20-17 to the Green Bay Packers on a walk-off overtime field goal. Despite dominating time of possession by nearly 11 minutes and holding the Packers to just 208 total yards, late-game conservatism and missed tackles proved costly. With rain aiding their strong defensive performance—Green Bay converted only 1 of 9 on third down—the Jets still couldn’t capitalize, raising questions about their ability to seal wins against tougher opponents.
Geno Smith continues to impress, outplaying Jordan Love with 247 passing yards and no turnovers, yet his solid play hasn’t been quite enough to put the team over the top. As the defense flourishes under Aaron Glenn’s leadership and key contributors like Azariah Thomas shine, can the Jets convert these gritty efforts into wins with an easier schedule ahead—or will close losses become a troubling theme?
