Story summary

Aaron Glenn, now head coach of the New York Jets, previously served as defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions in 2021 under head coach Dan Campbell. Despite the Lions posting a dismal 3-13 record that season, they improved to 9-8 by the end of 2022 and nearly made the playoffs. This year, Glenn will lead the Jets against the current 1-1 Lions on Sunday, giving him an opportunity to prove his belief in turning around a struggling team. The matchup is ironic since it was the Lions' resurgence that Glenn often cited as evidence for why the Jets could improve despite their own poor performance last season.

Throughout his first season with the Jets, Aaron Glenn kept making the comparison. asserted

It’s ironic that Glenn and the Jets, after two weeks of mostly optimism-filled football until a game-management meltdown last week, will head to Detroit on Sunday and face the 1-1 Lions with a chance for both redemption after the coach’s Week 2 criticism and a measuring stick on his Jets tenure to date. asserted

Glenn → ’ → date

In Week 1, Gang Green looked like they could be a respectable football team this year. uncertain

In Week 2, they were a late collapse away from securing a 2-0 start to the season. asserted
