Aaron Glenn mistakenly thinks Jets receive ball to start second half
Summary

During halftime of the Week 6 game against the Patriots, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn incorrectly stated that New York would receive the ball to begin the second half. Glenn, speaking with CBS, mentioned, "The good thing is, we get the ball. We get a chance to go move it and finish." However, it was the Patriots who received the kickoff. After the Jets turned the Patriots over on downs, Glenn clarified the situation. Such an oversight is notable for a head coach, who must manage numerous details throughout a game.
