The New York Jets<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The Jets (0-2) hosted their AFC East rival, the Buffalo Bills<\/a> (2-0), and were thrashed in a 30-10 final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, the score really wasn’t even that close.<\/p>\n

With that, here is Jets Wire’s<\/a> instant analysis of the Jets’ loss to the Bills:<\/p>\n

What went right?\"New<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Kicker Nick Folk booted one from 51 yards in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

That, genuinely, is the only positive for the Jets in Week 2.<\/p>\n

What went wrong?\"New<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There is a lot. To be brief:<\/p>\n

Quarterback Justin Fields was awful after a good debut with the Jets. By one measure, EPA per attempt<\/a>, Fields had his best-career game in Week 1. In that same stat, it was his worst-career outing in Week 2.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Fields was bad, but Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand looked outclassed by the Bills, too.<\/p>\n

Silly penalties, still. (Looking at you, Micheal Clemons)<\/p>\n

Glenn was a bit snappy and short with the media after the loss, he did not handle it well.<\/p>\n

What’s the bottom line?\"New<\/p>\n

New York Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn, is shown at MetLife Stadium, Sunday, September 14, 2025, in East Rutherford.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the AFC East, Aaron Glenn.<\/p>\n

The Bills have won five-straight division titles.<\/p>\n

Glenn got his first taste of the AFC East and it’s clear the Jets have a long way to go.<\/p>\n

What’s next?\"Oct<\/p>\n
