legend Shannon Sharpe saw his former team take down the in London. The Jets registered their worst offensive performance of the year to become this season's only 0-6 team. The former tight end had a reason to believe that Justin Fields & Co. are getting worse and their latest "new low" was registered on Sunday.

Shortly after the 13-11 loss, where the Jets could only register 82 total yards, Sharpe slammed new head coach Aaron Glenn's team in a way only he can. He posted on X:

"This is a new low even 4 the Jets. 82 total yds… 82 F’ing yds in an NFL gm. 2-15 on 3rd dwn and allowed 9 sacks. This is the worse offensive performance I’ve seen in a while. Not sure when, IF* it can be fixed. This was AWFUL. #NFLSunday #BroncosCountry s #BroncosJets."

Fields was awful in the passing game. He went 9-17 for just 45 yards through the air. The Jets' effective passing yard total was -10. Running back Breece Hall averaged just 2.7 yards per carry in 22 opportunities. The Jets' third-down efficiency and allowing nine sacks were major contributors to the loss.

Aaron Glenn's interesting answer to whether Justin Fields will be benched

Head coach Aaron Glenn is facing criticisms from all corners. With under 15 seconds remaining, Glenn allowed the clock to run out without attempting a final play, leaving the crowd booing. Even his own player, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, showed frustration towards him at halftime. 

However, after the game, Glenn remained confident in his quarterback. He was asked if Fields would be benched.

"C'mon man. What kind of question is that?" he said.

Fields is not having a great year calling the shots on offense. He has recorded 799 passing yards with four touchdown passes against zero interceptions. His lackluster play and inability to consistently drive the ball through the air effectively has raised questions whether he should be benched already.
