The New York Jets finished off an abysmal season on Sunday, falling 35-8 to the Buffalo Bills. The Jets ended the year with a 3-14 record in head coach Aaron Glenn\u2019s first season.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s defense was far from special, but the offense in particular really struggled.<\/p>\n

The Jets ranked last in the NFL<\/a> in passing yards, throwing for just 140.3 yards per game.<\/p>\n

Just how bad was New York\u2019s passing attack? The team\u2019s leading receiver — Garrett Wilson — last caught a pass on Oct. 12 in a 13-11 loss to the Broncos.<\/p>\n

Wilson finished the year with 36 receptions for 395 yards and 4 touchdowns. He led New York in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, despite his last catch coming nearly three months ago.<\/p>\n

The Jets started three different quarterbacks in 2025 in Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and Brady Cook, but the offense struggled no matter who was at the helm.<\/p>\n

Behind Garrett Wilson in receiving yards was tight end Mason Taylor, who finished with 369. Running back Breece Hall had the third-most receiving yards with 350.<\/p>\n

The second-leading receiver among actual receivers was Adonai Mitchell, who finished with 301 receiving yards in eight games.<\/p>\n

New York has a long ways to go to be a playoff contender in 2026. The Jets need more consistent quarterback play and more weapons around whoever is the signal caller.<\/p>\n

The fact that Garrett Wilson finished as the team\u2019s leading receiver, despite not catching a pass over the final 11 games, shows just how bad the offense was this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets finished off an abysmal season on Sunday, falling 35-8 to the Buffalo Bills.
