Improved Jets show some positives during 1-2 start, but now they need to close out games and win
First the good news for the New York Jets: Aaron Glenn's group appears much improved from last season's squad that went 3-14 in his first year as head coach. Now, the bad news: The Jets are 1-2 and still very much a flawed team that hasn't quite grasped what it takes to close out games and win.

The New York Jets have shown promise in their first two games of the season, but they now must focus on closing out games and securing wins. Head coach Aaron Glenn's team has been competitive, persistent, and resilient, appearing to be 3-0 in close games. However, they have faltered by blowing leads and failing to secure victories against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
Geno Smith's passing game has been a bright spot, with the quarterback leading the NFL with no interceptions in three games. His defense is also performing well, ranking second in the NFL in yards allowed per game. The rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq has emerged as a key player, contributing significantly to the offense. However, the Jets' running game has struggled, with Breece Hall struggling to gain yards, and the offensive line has been shaky.
Glenn acknowledged the need for improvement, emphasizing the importance of urgency in addressing the issues. The team faces the Chicago Bears next, aiming to avoid a 1-3 start.
