The Jets opened Aaron Glenn’s era with a confident 30-10 preseason win over Green Bay, signaling optimism for the coming season. The offense showed more rhythm than expected in camp, and Justin Fields got the ball moving early with a quarterback-friendly drive that ended in a rushing touchdown and finished 3-for-4 for 42 yards. The defense pressured the Packers at the line of scrimmage, while the run game and protection held up behind a clean first-unit performance.
Jay Tufele dominated in the trenches, establishing himself as a disruptive interior presence. The o-line corps impressed, keeping Fields off the ground on the opening series and enabling Braelon Allen to churn eight carries for 33 yards. Penalties lingered, nine flags for 81 yards, a reminder that discipline must tighten for Glenn’s squad as roster battles heat up. Injury avoidance was the other big takeaway, a foundation for depth-chart decisions as teams pare rosters down.
Overall, the Jets flashed the upside of the new coaching era and the on-field chemistry coaches want to see emerge in September, with playmakers stepping up and a cleaner game plan taking shape amid the drama of training camp and pre-season battles.
