Aaron Glenn Has No Regrets After Controversial Calls Cost Jets in Overtime Loss
Glenn said he played for overtime to avoid a backed-up situation, but the Jets lost after Green Bay held them to 199 yards.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the New York Jets lost 20-17 to the Green Bay Packers in overtime at MetLife Stadium, with Head Coach Aaron Glenn facing criticism for not calling a timeout during the final minute of regulation.
- Glenn defended his decision on Monday, explaining he feared a punt would pin the Jets deep in their own territory and preferred playing for overtime rather than risking poor field position late in the game.
- Defensive lineman David Onyemata and Mason Taylor sustained injuries during the contest, with Glenn reporting postgame on September 20 that the team will provide updates during the week on their status and others.
- Glenn stated the loss will not define the team's identity, though the Jets fell to 1-1 after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead and must now regroup before facing the Detroit Lions next week.
- The Jets travel to Detroit for Week 3, marking a homecoming for Glenn, who served four years as the Lions' defensive coordinator from 2021 through 2024 before becoming New York's head coach.
