The Jets lost to the Packers 20-17 in overtime on September 20, 2026, after blowing a 17-7 fourth-quarter lead. Head coach Aaron Glenn did not use a timeout when the Packers faced a third down near midfield with 1:05 remaining in regulation. Instead, the Packers took a delay of game penalty, which they used to reduce the clock to two seconds before attempting a failed Hail Mary. Glenn later stated he did not consider calling a timeout. In overtime, he opted to receive the kickoff, leading to a Jets three-and-out and a quick Packers drive for the game-winning field goal. Fans are likely to question these decisions as the Jets move forward.
