The New York Jets remain the only winless team in the NFL, and things just seem to get worse and worse every week.

Their 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in London, England, yesterday was the first time in history that a team lost a game they didn't turn the ball over, forced a takeaway, committed less than two penalties, and held their opponent to less than 250 offensive yards.

Super Bowl era teams were 62-0 in such games before yesterday, according to Michael Nania.

Jets make history in brutal Broncos loss

Nania continued the breakdown in his post on X, detailing just how bad this loss really was for New York.

"And most of them were TOTAL BLOWOUTS. Average margin of victory in those 62 wins: +23.6. To even win closely with those advantages would be startling. To LOSE is a historic level of incompetence that borders on the unfathomable."

The Jets continuously find new ways to lose football games, and now staring down the barrel of another lost season, one that was long gone before October even began.

While the Jets as a whole performed better on Sunday than they had in recent weeks, they can't seem to fire on all cylinders at the same time.

The defense and special teams held up their end of the bargain, holding the Broncos offense in check and creating favorable opportunities in the punting and kicking game.

But the offense, one that on paper looks better than it actually is, thanks to inflated garbage time stats, looked about as bad as it could be.

Justin Fields' net passing yards of -10 are something Jets fans haven't seen since the days of Zach Wilson at quarterback.

Something is going to give sometime soon, or first-year head coach Aaron Glenn's seat is going to get warmer and warmer as the 2025 season progresses.
