Aaron Glenn off to historically bad start in first season with Jets

The Jets are the first NFL team to start 0-5 with no defensive takeaways, dropping their playoff odds to near zero, ESPN research shows.

  • After Sunday's Week 5 loss, Aaron Glenn became the first head coach in New York Jets franchise history to start 0-5 in his first season.
  • Mistakes and missed takeaways have driven the New York Jets to a 0-5 start without a single takeaway, per ESPN Research.
  • In Week 5, the Jets lost 37-22 to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving New York as the NFL's only winless team while an ESPN reporter said, `I’ve covered roughly 600 #Jets games. This was one of the 10 worst performances.`
  • With their record now 0-5, the Jets' playoff odds have fallen from 2.7% and they would need to win at least 10 of their remaining 12 games to have an outside chance.
  • Glenn has leaned on veteran coaches, saying he spoke with Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson, while coaching-start statistics since 2000 show only four of 20 first-time head coaches starting 0-4 reached the playoffs.
