Aaron Glenn's Jets defense falters late against his former team and boss in 31-24 loss to Lions
Aaron Glenn didn't have to devise schemes to stop Detroit's powerful offense for four seasons as the Lions' defensive coordinator. Now the Jets' head coach, he lacked that luxury Sunday and New York had no answers for Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions with the game on the line in a 31-24 loss.
In a 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn faced challenges against his former team and boss. The Jets had overcome a 14-point deficit in the second half, tying the game at 24 with just 4:06 remaining. However, the Lions executed a four-play drive for the deciding touchdown, capitalizing on the Jets' inability to contain Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and other star receivers like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Glenn, who served as the Lions' defensive coordinator for four seasons, acknowledged his team's efforts and credit to Detroit coach Dan Campbell. However, he lamented the missed opportunities in the second half, saying, "Can't let those things happen."
