The New York Jets have long been a laughing stock, but perhaps never has it been more deserved than right now.
Gang Green ended its season with another loss, but this one – a 35-8 defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills – was of a different kind of embarrassment.
It was the first time an NFL team lost five straight games by at least 23 points – it hadn’t been done in four games since 1972. Their point differential over that span is -134, losing by an average of 26.8 points.
It was also the Jets’ 14th loss of the season, a number they had only posted under Rich Kotite in 1995 and Adam Gase in 2020.

The exclamation point, however, was that the Jets finished the season without an interception – another brutal NFL first. The San Francisco 49ers actually set an NFL record earlier this season, dating back to 2024, by not shutting down a quarterback in 15 consecutive games. But that streak finally ended and the Jets took it to a whole new level.

The nightmare is over for the Jets, who have been terrible under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn. Three different quarterbacks started for the Jets, with Justin Fields on the bench and Tyrod Taylor injured in his absence, prompting Brady Cook to start late in the season.
At the trade deadline, the Jets sent away Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for draft capital. Fortunately, those trades happened with the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys, both of whom missed the playoffs. So the picks they got (the Colts’ first in 2026 and Dallas’ second in 2026) aren’t bad at all. Additionally, the Jets now own the second pick in the draft.

However, it’s up to general manager Darren Mougey to make the most of it – and decide if Glenn is the right person to lead the Jets forward.
