Trailing 14-7 with Miami driving late in the second quarter, Aaron Glenn chose not to call any of his three timeouts as the Dolphins methodically worked down the field. Miami picked up a first down at the Jets' 25-yard line right after the two-minute warning, then gained 20 yards over the next two plays before taking their own timeout with 20 seconds left. A pass interference penalty in the end zone and a second Miami timeout followed a loss of yardage on a run, and the Dolphins finished the drive with a Malik Willis touchdown run with six seconds remaining, going up 21-7 at the break.\n\nAfter the game, Glenn admitted he should have used the timeouts to stop the clock. On Monday, he reversed course and defended the approach instead, arguing the Dolphins had time to pick up additional first downs that would have negated the Jets calling timeout anyway.\n\nThe Jets remain stuck trying to explain losses like this one, with questions mounting about the coaching staff's in-game decisions as the season continues.","published_at":"2026-10-26T16:07:40.188001+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Aaron Glenn defends not using timeouts
