Stock Report | Improved Defense Gives Jets Reason for Optimism

Despite a 20-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2, the New York Jets defense ranks No. 1 in total team defense across the NFL through two games. The unit has allowed the fewest total yards (394) and first downs (27) in the league, while overcoming the loss of injured All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick under head coach Aaron Glenn.

Safeties Andre Cisco and Dane Belton have limited opposing quarterbacks, allowing just four completions on targets for 31 yards. Up front, offseason additions Kingsley Enagbare and rookie edge rusher David Bailey have each recorded two sacks, though head coach Glenn cited penalty concerns following Sunday's loss.
