Story summary

The New York Jets' defense, which initially ranked among the best in the league during their first two games, has seen a significant decline in performance over the past two weeks. Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, had been praised for his "superpower" of effective play-calling that helped secure a win against the Titans and nearly held off the Packers in Week 2. However, this recent downturn has raised concerns as the Jets have dropped from top-tier defense to being ranked only 12th in total defense after four weeks. This regression is particularly alarming given the initial high standards set by Glenn's innovative tactics.

🔮 Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, who started in place of the injured Caleb Williams, was 25-for-34 passing for 268 yards.
🔮 CHICAGO — The Jets may talk about how they’ve been competitive in every game, and how that has to be considered progress after going 3-14 a year ago.
🔮 TEs Kenyon Sadiq (back) and Jeremy Ruckert (knee) were limited in practice but are expected to play.
🔮 In other roster moves Tuesday, the Jets waived cornerback Jordan Clark, though he could return on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
🔮 Alongside Wilson were Isaiah Williams, undrafted free agent rookie Malik McClain, Sterling Shepard and Jamaal Pritchett, both of whom were signed off the practice squad.
🔮 Key stat 381: That’s the number of yards the Jets defense allowed, after holding their previous two opponents to fewer than 200 in each game. Quote “We feel we could easily be 3-0 by now.’’ — Jets TE Jeremy Ruckert
🔮 Should and could, of course, don’t count in the NFL standings. The Jets are a week removed from leaking away a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in a desultory home loss to the Packers in overtime.
🔮 DETROIT — It was about a year ago when Isaiah Williams fumbled a punt and made a poor fair catch decision against the Dolphins.
🔮 There was criticism, considering Allen is a 6-1, 235-pound bruiser, that running him from an under-center snap instead of having him start from so deep in the backfield would have been a better play.
🔮 “I feel like we could have helped the defense out a little more, shown them a little more love, put a few more points on the board so they could be a little more comfortable.’’
