The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Ross Johnston argues that the New York Jets are the NFL's worst team in late first-half situations under head coach Aaron Glenn. Since the start of the previous season, the Jets have recorded an NFL-worst -94 point differential in the final two minutes of the first half, scoring only six points while allowing 100 points in that specific timeframe.

Johnston highlights the issue recurring in a recent 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots, where a late three-and-out led to a Patriots touchdown. The writer contends that despite having a more talented roster and veteran quarterback Geno Smith, repeated failures in late-half clock management and execution point directly to coaching shortcomings under Glenn.
