Three things I’m looking at in the Jets vs. Chiefs Game
The Jets head to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs, entering as 9.5‑point underdogs in what is the week’s biggest spread. While Kansas City’s elite coaching, stout defense and Hall‑of‑Fame quarterback make an upset unlikely, New York’s backfield could be the X‑factor. Braelon Allen has surged in the past month, averaging over 100 rushing yards and scoring the game‑winner versus the Browns, while Breece Hall remains a polarizing figure. Blogger Matt argues both "Killer Bs" can thrive together if Frank Reich balances Allen’s volume with Hall’s versatility, aiming for 100+ yards from the lead back and 50+ from the second. The piece also warns that the Jets’ defense, still a concern, must step up against the Chiefs’ rejuvenated high‑powered offense.
Previewing the Jets’ opposition: Kansas City Chiefs
The Jets face a daunting Chiefs squad Sunday, despite Kansas City slipping to 5-2 after two straight losses. The Chiefs have dominated the Jets in four of their last five meetings, including a controversial 23‑20 win in 2023. Patrick Mahomes (99.7 passer rating, 12 TDs, 4 INTs) leads a potent offense, backed by rookie Garrett Nussmeier and former Jet Justin Fields. The line features Pro Bowlers Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith, while left tackle Josh Simmons sits on IR and rookie Kahlil Benson steps in. Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP, still sits near the league rushing lead with 770 yards, though his per‑carry average has dipped. Tight end Travis Kelce tops the receiving charts with 410 yards, and the defense struggles with a down year from Chris Jones. All signs point to Kansas City as heavy favorites.

Jets will be without Garrett Wilson Week 9 against the Chiefs
The New York Jets lose star receiver Garrett Wilson to concussion protocol ahead of their Week 9 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Aaron Glenn confirms Wilson will be out Sunday, leaving the Jets without their top passing option on a tough road trip. Luckily, the 2026 squad boasts other threats: Omar Cooper has logged two 100‑yard games in the past three weeks and may see increased targets, while rookie Kenyon Sadiq could re‑emerge after a standout Week 3 performance. Wilson's absence adds to the Jets' recent losing streak challenges.
New York Jets News: Much-Needed Help is on the way Ahead of Chiefs Matchup
The New York Jets get a boost ahead of their Thursday night showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Coach Giff Smith now has more offensive weapons—Hall, Taylor, and emerging players like Adonai Mitchell and Braelon Allen—to try to match the Chiefs’ firepower in what could be a high‑scoring contest. The article also links to related Jets coverage and fan engagement options.
Despite loss to Raiders, Jets fan confidence rises
Despite a 2‑6 record and a three‑game losing streak, New York Jets fan confidence in a November 5, 2026 poll nudged upward after a recent loss to the Raiders. While confidence had plunged to 21% following a defeat by the winless Miami Dolphins, about one‑third of respondents still trust the team's direction, citing a promising rookie class and three upcoming first‑round picks. The article notes the poll isn’t scientific, critiques coaching, and hints that the upcoming weekend matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs could shift sentiment.

New York Jets News: NYJ Listed as Sellers Before NFL Trade Deadline
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the New York Jets (2‑6) are being labeled “sellers” by The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. He argues the Jets won’t move star Garrett Wilson but may flip veterans who don’t fit a rebuilding timeline for cap space and draft capital. The piece urges the front office to retain young talent while trading expendable players to aid the next head coach’s roster overhaul.
Scouting Jets quarterback Will Levis
The New York Jets add former Tennessee Titans second‑round pick Will Levis to their practice squad, and this piece breaks down his career and skill set. At 27, Levis stands 6’4”, 229 lb, boasts a 34‑inch vertical and 124‑inch broad jump, and is praised for elite arm strength and running ability. In college he posted a 66% completion rate at Kentucky but led the SEC with 13 interceptions. In the NFL he started 21 games, going 5‑16 with 12‑13 interceptions and modest passing numbers, and missed the 2025 season after shoulder surgery. The analysis highlights his raw talent, inconsistent accuracy, and struggles under pressure, offering a realistic view of what he could bring to the Jets.
Some Long-Term Thoughts on the Jets at 2-6
Despite the New York Jets’ 2-6 record, the blog argues the team’s offense is a bright spot and could be one of the best in the franchise’s recent 15‑year history. Ranked 12th in EPA/play and 10th in success rate through eight weeks, the young unit—average age 23.8 and largely under contract—features promising prospects like Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Braelon Allen and linemen Joe Tippmann and Olu Fashanu. The author notes persistent red‑zone woes and questions whether coaching or luck is to blame, but contends the overall record is misleading, with net EPA comparable to teams such as the Raiders, Texans and Giants. The piece suggests the Jets could become a playoff contender if the offense continues to develop.
New York Jets News: Insider Says Aaron Glenn Path to Salvation has Closed
ESPN analyst Rich Cimini says the New York Jets' head coach Aaron Glenn no longer has a viable path to keep his job after back‑to‑back losses to Miami and the Las Vegas Raiders. With nine games remaining—including a road clash with the Kansas City Chiefs and a home game versus the Buffalo Bills—Cimini predicts the Jets could fall to 2‑8 if those matchups turn into defeats, making the coaching future bleak. While a mid‑season firing remains uncertain, the article notes Glenn's deep Jets history and the mounting pressure as the team faces a daunting schedule against the Chargers and Dolphins.
The Jets aren’t good enough to overcome the mistakes they made against the Raiders
The New York Jets’ 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 1 highlighted a fundamentally weak defense and missed opportunities on offense. While the offense managed a season‑high 33 points, four red‑zone field goals and three stalled drives cost them a potential 19 points. Rookie pass‑rusher David Bailey’s inconsistent play exposed a pass rush built around a single, inexperienced player, and the unit repeatedly struggled to contain Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. Special teams, once league‑best, regressed with a kickoff return touchdown allowed. The article argues that despite modest talent upgrades, the Jets lack the depth and coaching quality to cover their defensive and execution flaws, making every mistake costly.
New York Jets News: Aaron Glenn is Dying by the Sword
Aaron Glenn’s decision to assume defensive play‑calling has backfired, leaving the New York Jets stuck at 2‑6 after a 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Despite a strong offensive start—scoring on their first six possessions, a feat achieved by only two other teams in 45 years—the Jets’ defense collapsed, prompting ESPN’s Rich Cimini to note the historic rarity. Analysts from ESPN, The Athletic and the New York Post debate Glenn’s future, with many predicting his firing as inevitable. The article links to multiple recaps and reactions, highlighting Braelon Allen’s 147‑yard rush and Adonai Mitchell’s career game amid the defeat.

Jets fan confidence is low after brutal loss to Miami Dolphins
After a 17‑13 defeat to the winless Miami Dolphins in Week 7, the New York Jets slip to 2‑5 and fan confidence plunges to just 33 percent, according to SB Nation’s weekly poll. The loss follows an ugly road defeat to the Patriots and sets up a critical clash with the Raiders that could drop the record to 2‑6. With upcoming games against the Chiefs and Bills, the Jets’ competitive window looks to be closing, and poll numbers may near zero unless they reverse the negative momentum.
Jets vs Raiders Pre-Game Ball
Gang Green Nation predicts the Jets’ offensive line will be the decisive factor in Sunday’s clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Raiders rank last in the NFL with only 5.0 yards per carry allowed, the Jets have struggled to run, averaging under 100 yards per game, though they’ve improved to 113 yards over their last three outings. The return of guard Dylan Parham restores a full starting line, giving the Jets a chance to exploit the Raiders’ porous run defense and protect Geno Smith. The piece invites fans to weigh in on who else deserves a pre‑game or pre‑blame ball.

Jets vs Raiders: Five Questions with Silver and Black Pride
The New York Jets host the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL’s Week 8 matchup, a game that pits a 3-3 Jets squad against a Raiders team that fell from a 3-0 start to a four‑game losing streak. Silver and Black Pride writer Matt Holder explains the early success was helped by a soft schedule and a turnover‑driven defense, while recent losses stem from tougher opponents and a defense that now allows over 35 points per game. He also argues rookie first‑overall pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza should take the reins now, despite Coach Klint Kubiak’s decision to keep veteran Kirk Cousins as starter until the bye week.
Jets make roster moves ahead of Raiders game
Ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, the New York Jets place DT T’Vondre Sweat on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games. The team fills the void by signing former Clemson defensive tackle Payton Page to the active roster—he appeared in four games last season with six tackles—and promoting OT Brant Banks and edge rusher Quinton Bell from the practice squad. Bell, a 2019 seventh‑round pick with 38 career tackles, joins the Jets after stints with multiple teams.
