New York fell 35-12 to Kansas City to drop to 2-7, and the coach says the roster will stay the same at the trade deadline.
The Jets lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday, falling 35-12 to the Chiefs and dropping to 2-7 on the season. The defeat intensified scrutiny of head coach Aaron Glenn, who has become a frequent target across NFL media for his game-management decisions and his tendency to emphasize positives after lopsided losses.
Bill Simmons called Glenn one of the worst NFL coaches of the century, saying he could not believe how awful Glenn has been. That follows ESPN's Mike Greenberg labeling Glenn's tenure an absolute disgrace back in October.
On the field, the Jets have allowed 193 points over their last seven games after holding opponents to just 30 points through the first two weeks, when Glenn took over defensive play-calling duties himself. Asked Monday whether he would consider giving that role back to defensive coordinator Brian Duker, Glenn said he is aware the defense has not played well recently but pointed to evidence of improvement.
Despite the losing streak and a roster that includes edge rusher Will McDonald IV requesting a trade over a diminished role, Glenn said the Jets plan to stand pat through the NFL trade deadline, adding the team prefers to keep its good players rather than make headline moves like it did a year ago.
