In order to flip the fortune of the franchise around, the New York Jets hired Aaron Glenn ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Glenn handed Justin Fields the starting quarterback job. Ten games in, the Jets are 2-8 following the midweek defeat to rivals New England Patriots.
Elsewhere, Bleacher Report‘s research team discovered something interesting. According to the NFL win and loss data, the Jets have won 27 games since 2020. But why is it so significant?
As it turns out, the Jets have won fewer games in that time frame than Tom Brady. As readers may remember, Brady ended his two-decade-long relationship with the Patriots and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in that very year.
Brady captured his seventh Super Bowl in his first season with Tampa, then spent two more years under center before retiring at the end of the 2022 season. Over those three seasons, he racked up 11, 13, and 8 wins, for a total of 32 victories.
Just when Jets fans thought Brady could not haunt them anymore, he came back to rub more salt in the wounds. During his time with the New England Patriots, he consistently dominated the Big Apple franchise, racking up an impressive 31 wins in 39 matchups (regular season and playoffs).
This is part of the reason Brady’s regarded as the best football player ever. As for the Jets, they are perennial rebuilders. Woody Johnson banked too much on a rookie head coach to establish a winning culture. To be fair, Glenn inherited one of the worst rosters in football, excluding a few players like
Before Glenn, the Jets employed (since 2020) Jeff Ulbrich
, Robert Saleh, and Adam Gase. Saleh had the best record among the three, winning 20 from 56 games. As a matter of fact, the Jets have lost 67 games since 2020 (according to
The future is looking bleak for Fields. He ranks 27th among quarterbacks with 1259 passing yards. The only players in and around him are either injured or have missed games due to injuries.
Fields isn’t a bad quarterback, but he isn’t a world beater either. Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Willie Colon bluntly stated that Fields isn’t an NFL quarterback at all.
It’s tough… Because Aaron Glenn is going to sit up here and talk about how he needs to watch the tape. You don’t need to watch anything. Justin Fields is not an NFL quarterback. Let’s be honest.. The tape don’t lie… I’m on the field. We watch missed throws, bad mechanics, and he doesn’t trust his feet.
His status as the Jets starter is in jeopardy. Following the short bye week, the Jets play the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. Glenn has plenty of time to decide whether he wants to stick with Fields or start veteran
I’m evaluating myself, the players, schematics, and coaches. I’m evaluating everything. So, I don’t want to just place everything on that, that one situation [quarterback]. I’m just looking at everything, because as a head coach, that’s my job, to make sure that I put this team in the best position to go win games

Fields signed a two-year contract with the Jets. However, the way the season has panned out, it will not surprise anyone if the Jets decide to trade him next year.
On Sunday night, Scott Morrow made his New York Rangers debut after being called up from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League earlier that day.
The Rangers acquired Morrow over the summer as part of the sign-and-trade deal with the Carolina Hurricanes centered around K’Andre Miller.
During training camp, Morrow was given an opportunity to make the opening-night roster, as he played in multiple preseason games while practicing on the second power-play unit.
He was one of the last players to be sent down to the AHL before the start of the 2025-26 season. In 11 games for the Wolf Pack, Morrow recorded one goal, one assist, and two points.
With Will Borgen out with an upper-body injury, the Rangers called up Morrow, and he was immediately slotted into the lineup in place of Urho Vaakanainen.
The 23-year-old defenseman played 9:56 minutes in his NHL season debut, the fewest amongst all Rangers blueliners.
However, Rangers assistant coach David Quinn praised Morrow for his performance.
“I liked his game. I thought Scotty did a good job,” Quinn said. “I thought he kept it simple. He moves the puck well, gets us out of our end when we needed to get out of our end when the chances presented themselves. I thought he defended well.”
Borgen’s injury status remains a mystery, so it’s possible Morrow could find himself back in the lineup on Tuesday night when the Rangers go up against the Vegas Golden Knights.
