Motor City Reunion: Aaron Glenn Faces Dan Campbell for First Time as Jets Head Coach

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn will face his former head coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions for the first time in Week 3. Glenn served as Detroit's defensive coordinator under Campbell from 2021 to 2024 before taking over the Jets. The matchup marks the second of three consecutive games against NFC North opponents for New York following a 20-17 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The Jets defense currently ranks No. 1 in the NFL, having held their first two opponents under 200 total yards. They will face a Lions offense led by quarterback Jared Goff, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Meanwhile, Detroit's 31st-ranked defense will be depleted, missing safety Avonte Maddox to a season-ending foot injury alongside Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch.
