Jets Break NFL Records for Losing Streak
Clear Facts
- The New York Jets ended their season with a 35-8 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
- The Jets became the first NFL team to lose five straight games by at least 23 points.
- The team finished the season without recording a single interception, a new NFL first.
The New York Jets closed out a tough season with a significant defeat by the Buffalo Bills, bringing their total losses this year to fourteen.
This latest loss put the Jets in the NFL record books for consecutive large-margin defeats, averaging a 26.8-point loss over the last five games.
The franchise matched its lowest season totals from 1995 and 2020, ending with fourteen losses under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn.
“The nightmare is over for the Jets, who were abysmal under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn.”
The Jets failed to intercept an opposing quarterback all season, setting a new NFL milestone for futility in pass defense.
Quarterback changes marked the season, with Justin Fields benched, Tyrod Taylor injured, and Brady Cook stepping in to finish the year.
Midseason, the team traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for draft picks from the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys, both non-playoff teams, which improved the Jets’ draft position.
“It is up to general manager Darren Mougey to make the most of them — and to decide if Glenn is the right guy to lead the Jets moving forward.”
The team now holds the second pick in the upcoming draft, with important decisions ahead for management and coaching.
Stay tuned as the organization faces a critical offseason to rebuild and restore pride in their franchise.
