Justin Fields and Jets offense reach unthinkable new low in London embarrassment

The New York Jets entered 2025 selling hope — a new head coach in Aaron Glenn, a roster with talent present, and one more chance to unlock former first-round quarterback Justin Fields.

Six games in, that hope has seemingly crumbled into something far uglier than even the most pessimistic fan could’ve imagined. Sunday’s loss in London to the Denver Broncos was rock bottom — or at least it feels like it.

New York finished with negative ten net passing yards. Let that sink in. Not just bad. Not just unproductive. Historically inept.

It was the fewest passing yards Denver’s defense has allowed in franchise history — and this is a franchise that has fielded some elite units across decades. Fields managed, literally, nothing through the air, and the passing game functioned closer to a liability than an actual offensive phase.

The offense’s futility was as complete as it was embarrassing. Seven punts. Eight first downs. Those numbers shouldn’t exist in today’s NFL — not in an era built around offensive explosion, spacing, and quarterback empowerment.

The Jets didn’t just fail to sustain drives; they failed to resemble a professional offense.

Much of the discourse around Fields since his Chicago days has centered on tantalizing tools — the cannon arm, the electric running ability, the frame built to withstand contact. But at some point, traits have to become production. Fields, now in his fifth NFL season, still looks like a player processing at half speed in an NFL that demands instant answers.

His internal clock is extended, open windows are consistently missed, and drifting into pressure is a common theme. The Jets allowed nine sacks on Sunday — some from busted protection, but many from Fields refusing to get rid of the darn football.

At the top and in charge of it all, Glenn was brought in to bring accountability and discipline to a franchise long running on chaos. Instead, his offense looks as directionless as any Jets unit in recent memory. There’s no rhythm in the passing game, no sequencing that builds on itself, no confidence that a first down — let alone a touchdown — is coming when they take the field.

Even the run game, once thought to be a stabilizing force behind Breece Hall, has stalled because defenses no longer fear anything behind them.

The Jets defense, at least this week, didn't cave. They fought. They held Denver within reach. Heck, it was 11-10 Jets after a second-half safety.

Bottom line, they’ve given the roster every chance to compete. And every week, the offense sends them right back onto the field with nothing to show for it.

At 0-6, New York is spiraling fast.

What was supposed to be a rebirth under Glenn has already reached crisis stage. Fields may still have fans in the league who believe he can turn it around, but belief doesn’t move the chains.

Sunday’s game wasn’t just a loss. It was a loud, ugly statement: the offense isn’t just underperforming. It looks broken. And there’s no evidence yet that anyone knows how to fix it.
