Story summary

The New York Jets suffered an embarrassing 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday, October 23, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This defeat came despite the Jets having a defense that hadn't allowed any points on opponents' opening drives in five consecutive games, tying them with Seattle, Green Bay, Jacksonville, and Denver for this streak.

The Dolphins took an early lead when they marched 76 yards in seven plays on their first possession, ending with a touchdown pass from Malik Willis to rookie receiver Caleb Douglas. The Jets had three timeouts but failed to use any as the Dolphins drove into scoring range late in the half, eventually taking a 21-7 lead at halftime.

Post-game analysis criticized head coach Aaron Glenn for poor clock management, further fueling speculation that he may be on the hot seat despite calls from some analysts like Brian Costello to let him finish out the season before making any drastic changes. Costello argues firing Glenn now could send the Jets into a total downward spiral with only 10 games left in the regular season.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 But firing Aaron Glenn right now would accomplish nothing except making you feel better for a few days.
🔮 Reich said this week that head coach Aaron Glenn will remind him to get the ball to Wilson during games.
🔮 Slightly younger fans may remember Nov. 10, 1991, when Jeff George led the 0-8 Colts to their only win of the season, 28-27 over the Jets at the Meadowlands.
🔮 “I would definitely say that Titans game, coming up you have to get that confidence,” Cooper said.
🔮 SIGN UP NOWGlenn did not intend this when he made the comment, but it underscores how frustrating it is watching Glenn’s Jets never win games they are not expected to win.
🔮 “I wouldn’t even say we’ve really had battles,” Wilson said.
🔮 Quarterback Drake Maye has thrown seven touchdowns and one interception in his past two games.
🔮 It appears the Jets will be without wide receiver Adonai Mitchell for another week.
🔮 Wilson said he usually has a good idea when he will be the focal point of the offense entering a game based on that week’s practice.
🔮 “Well I would say this: we really don’t focus on what happened in the past when it comes to us, we just focus on what’s happening right now,” Glenn said.
