The New York Jets are still looking for their first win under the watch of head coach Aaron Glenn and they were nowhere close to it in Week 2.
The Jets (0-2) hosted their AFC East rival, the Buffalo Bills (2-0), and were thrashed in a 30-10 final.

In fact, the score really wasn’t even that close.
With that, here is Jets Wire’s instant analysis of the Jets’ loss to the Bills:
What went right?
New York Jets place kicker Nick Folk (6) puts out his hand before being congratulated by a teammate (not shown)_ after kicking 51-yard field goal, Sunday, September 14, 2025, in East Rutherford.
Kicker Nick Folk booted one from 51 yards in the second quarter.
That, genuinely, is the only positive for the Jets in Week 2.
What went wrong?
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (7) got sacked in back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter before exiting the game, Sunday, September 14, 2025, in East Rutherford.
There is a lot. To be brief:
Quarterback Justin Fields was awful after a good debut with the Jets. By one measure, EPA per attempt, Fields had his best-career game in Week 1. In that same stat, it was his worst-career outing in Week 2.
Bills running back James Cook had 132 yards on 21 carries, an average of 6.3 yards per carry. As a team, Buffalo averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
Fields was bad, but Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand looked outclassed by the Bills, too.
Silly penalties, still. (Looking at you, Micheal Clemons)
Glenn was a bit snappy and short with the media after the loss, he did not handle it well.
What’s the bottom line?
New York Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn, is shown at MetLife Stadium, Sunday, September 14, 2025, in East Rutherford.
Welcome to the AFC East, Aaron Glenn.
The Bills have won five-straight division titles.
Glenn got his first taste of the AFC East and it’s clear the Jets have a long way to go.
