Aaron Glenn is officially on the clock with the New York Jets after they dropped another one, 38-33, against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. That’s the word from SI.com’s Albert Breer, who basically said the clock is ticking on the Jets coach, and honestly, can you blame him? They are sitting at a brutal 2-6 record, and their season looks completely sunk.
The Jets’ Season Is Sinking Fast
Let’s be real, it’s not looking good for Gang Green. Their 2-6 record means they have basically no shot at winning the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills are cruising at 6-1, and the New England Patriots are holding strong at 5-3, way ahead of the Jets. Even a Wild Card bid feels like a fantasy, considering they would need to leapfrog seven other teams. Unless there’s some kind of miraculous turnaround, Breer is right: this season is already gone. You gotta wonder what kind of miracle could even happen at this point.
Dan Quinn Settles the Choppy Waters in Washington
On the flip side, Dan Quinn with the Washington Commanders just eased some serious pressure. While the Jets were losing, the Commanders straight up walloped the Eagles, 27-10. This big win helped Quinn “settle some choppy waters,” as Breer put it, and it’s a completely different vibe compared to what’s happening in New York. Washington is now sitting at 2-4-1, and here’s the kicker: they’re just two games back of the New York Giants, who are 4-2-1 in the NFC East. That’s a division that’s looking pretty mediocre, which means winning it is actually feasible for Washington!
Sure, a Wild Card spot is probably out of the question for the Commanders too; they’d also need to jump seven teams. But the division? That’s real. They just need to start consistently winning games, which is easier said than done, but the hope is there. And as long as that hope for a division title remains, it might be enough to keep Quinn off the hot seat entirely. What a difference a single Sunday can make, right?
