Quick Summary

Jets fans recall two past games where winless teams beat them: on December 14, 1980, when the Saints won 21-20 at Shea Stadium, and November 10, 1991, when the Colts triumphed 28-27. In 2019, the Jets lost to both the 0-7 Dolphins and the 0-11 Bengals, marking them as the first team to lose to two winless or nearly winless teams in a single season.

Story summary

The New York Jets suffered an embarrassing 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday, October 23, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Dolphins, who had not held a lead all season before this game, took the opening kickoff and marched down the field for their first score of the year, leading to speculation about coaching errors by Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, particularly his decision not to use timeouts during critical moments. Despite the talent on both sides, including rookie receivers Garrett Wilson for the Jets and Caleb Douglas for the Dolphins, the Jets' loss marks their 0-7 record against AFC East rivals under Glenn's tenure. Post-game interviews highlighted Glenn's ambiguity in explaining his coaching decisions, further fueling discussions about his future with the team.
