Jets’ win calms down the Aaron Glenn doomsday scenarios in encouraging sign

CINCINNATI — Aaron Glenn clutched the game ball, given to him by Christopher Johnson, under his left arm as 307-pound defensive tackle Harrison Phillips lifted him into the air in the visiting locker room at Paycor Stadium.

The Jets players erupted in a cheer that could be heard through the cinder block walls and seemed to reverberate around the lower level of the stadium. After losing his first seven games as the Jets head coach, Glenn finally got into the win column with a stunning 39-38 victory over the Bengals, and now his players were celebrating with him.

“It felt good just seeing happiness on his face,” Jets linebacker Quincy Williams said.

One of Glenn’s favorite words is “grit,” and it was exactly what his team showed on Sunday, overcoming a 15-point deficit with a fourth quarter for the ages. The comeback was capped off with a halfback option pass from Breece Hall to rookie Mason Taylor—a play call that showed Glenn’s guts have not been compromised by this long losing streak to start his coaching career.

Justin Fields makes feelings clear on Woody Johnson’s criticism after handing Aaron Glenn’s Jets 1st win of 2025 NFL season

After eight tries, the New York Jets finally secured a victory. On Sunday, Aaron Glenn’s squad defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 39-38 on the road, ending their 0-7 start to the season.

Quarterback Justin Fields delivered a strong performance, completing 21 of 32 attempts for 244 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Johnson. The win was especially important for Fields following some less-than-favorable comments from Jets owner Woody Johnson earlier in the week. After the game, Fields addressed those remarks:

“That’s outside noise at the end of the day. I get that he’s the owner of the team, but that’s outside noise.”

The Jets’ offensive highlight was running back Breece Hall, who rushed 18 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Hall also threw the decisive touchdown to Mason Taylor in the fourth quarter, showcasing his versatility.

On the Cincinnati side, Joe Flacco led the offense, completing 21 of 34 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns. He also contributed with a rushing score.

### Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn Reacts to First Win of 2025 Season

Following the Jets’ first victory, head coach Aaron Glenn shared his thoughts on what he described as a “very, very exciting” game. He praised his team’s resilience and grit, especially after a difficult start to the season.

“I told my guys at halftime, these are the games where I really can tell the mental and physical toughness of our team, the grit we’ve been talking about having to play with to win these games. I’m proud of the way we fought,” Glenn said.

He continued, “There were a number of things we did today that didn’t put us in position to lose and put us in position to win. We had a number of guys who made plays at crucial times. Now it’s our time to consistently do that.”

Glenn also addressed the criticism the team has faced throughout the season:

“These guys, this staff, this team get criticized for so much. And I understand why. We were 0-7 and we brought a lot on ourselves. But a lot of it I feel was unwarranted. I’m just so happy for these guys and our coaches. We still have a long way to go. I’m going to enjoy this win.”

### Looking Ahead

The Jets will now enter their bye week, taking some time to regroup. Their next game is scheduled against the Cleveland Browns on November 9, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
