The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Jets have posted a league-worst point differential of -94 in the final two minutes of the first half since the start of last season under head coach Aaron Glenn. During this span, the Jets have scored an NFL-low six points while surrendering a league-high 100 points in that specific window. A to Z Sports argues that this persistent failure is a coaching issue that resurfaced in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots.

Trailing 10-3 with 1:46 remaining before halftime, the Jets failed to manage the clock, allowing New England to score a touchdown and extend their lead to 17-3. Although New York rallied to make the score 17-13 in the third quarter behind veteran quarterback Geno Smith, the writer contends that ongoing mismanagement in two-minute situations continues to cost the team winnable games.
