The\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0have started\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0at QB in every game this season that he has been healthy. That might not be the case after this mini bye week.<\/p>\n
Head coach\u00a0Aaron Glenn\u00a0shared a three-word response when asked if he would consider making a quarterback change after the Week 11 loss to the\u00a0New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m evaluating everything,\u201d Glenn said on Friday, November 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m evaluating myself, the players, the schematics, coaches \u2014 I am evaluating everything. So I don\u2019t want to just place everything on that one situation. I am just looking at everything, as a head coach, that is my job. To make sure that I put this team in the best position to go win games,\u201d Coach Glenn explained.<\/p>\n
The Jets played the Patriots on Thursday Night Football to start Week 11. That game was on Thursday, November 13. The next game for the Jets in Week 12 is on Sunday, November 23, against the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n
Brian Costello\u00a0of the New York Post said, \u201cIt did feel like Glenn was more open to a possible [quarterback] change today. He did not shoot down the questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aaron Glenn says he will be evaluating everything when asked about considering a QB change. It did feel like Glenn was more open to a possible change today. He did not shoot down the questions.<\/p>\n
In previous press conferences, Coach Glenn\u00a0has been strong\u00a0in his defense of Fields. After the Week 6 loss to the\u00a0Denver Broncos, Costello asked Glenn if Fields would remain his starting QB going into Week 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cC\u2019mon, man. What kind of question is that?\u201d Glenn asked in disbelief. He\u00a0totally dismissed\u00a0the idea of even thinking about benching Fields despite his struggles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you hear that quite a bit when you get these quarterback changes. \u2018Man, I\u2019m trying to get a spark for the team.\u2019 But to me, it\u2019s more or less, man, I\u2019m trying to make the best decision to give our guys a chance to win. Because to me, a spark is a short-term deal, and I don\u2019t know what other coaches\u2019 decisions are, but man, I wanna make the decision that gives us a chance to win. Whatever that evaluation process comes out to, just know that the reason why I make the decisions that I make is because it gives us the best chance to win,\u201d Coach Glenn added.<\/p>\n
Of course, Coach Glenn wants to win games. He is trying to establish a culture and it\u2019s a lot easier to sell your message if you\u2019re winning games.<\/p>\n
However, at 2-8, it is more complicated than just wins versus losses. The team needs to evaluate what they have on the roster. It\u2019s a lot harder to do that at wide receiver with the level of quarterback play we have seen this season from Fields.<\/p>\n
ESPN\u2019s\u00a0Rich Cimini\u00a0revealed, \u201cThe Jets are averaging a league-low 139.9 passing yards per game. That would be the lowest in the NFL since the 2022\u00a0Bears\u00a0(130.5). Common denominator: Justin Fields at QB.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those limited passing yards and wild inaccuracies make it nearly impossible to evaluate the pass catchers on the Jets\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n
With\u00a0Garrett Wilson\u00a0on the shelf for the foreseeable future, the green and white have far more questions than answers at WR.<\/p>\n
Sure, maybe a quarterback change from Fields to\u00a0Tyrod Taylor\u00a0would help win more games. But more importantly, it would give the Jets a better chance to evaluate\u00a0John Metchie III,\u00a0Arian Smith,\u00a0Adonai Mitchell, and\u00a0Mason Taylor.<\/p>\n
Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Houston Texans who are most to blame for their Week 3 loss vs. Jaguars.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0came into 2025 with cautious optimism. They had a defense that had shown promise and an offense built around a young star quarterback. Three weeks into the season, though, and the optimism has vanished. The Texans are winless after three games, and the same offensive demons that haunted them last year have only grown louder. Right now, Houston already looks like a team teetering on the edge of irrelevance. The focus is shifting\u00a0squarely to their quarterback, CJ Stroud.<\/p>\n
The Texans lost to the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars,\u00a017-10, in Week 3. That was their third loss in as many outings.\u00a0Their offense sputtered all afternoon, culminating in three costly fourth-quarter turnovers. Those included two interceptions by Stroud and a fumble by wide receiver\u00a0Nico Collins. The Jaguars capitalized, with Travis Etienne Jr breaking off a late touchdown run to seal Jacksonville\u2019s first home victory over Houston since 2017.<\/p>\n
The defeat dropped the Texans to 0-3, their worst start since 2020. It also left them tied with Tennessee for last in the AFC South. Sure, penalties, shaky play-calling, and injuries all played a role. Howwever,, the reality was clear: Houston had two opportunities late to tie or win. Both drives, though, ended in game-killing mistakes. It\u2019s a story fans have heard before, and patience is wearing thin.<\/p>\n
Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Houston Texans who are most to blame for their Week 3 loss vs. Jaguars.<\/p>\n
CJ Stroud\u2019s performance was the talking point afterward, and not for the right reasons. Statistically, he wasn\u2019t disastrous. He had 25-of-38 passing for 204 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown to Collins. Still, the raw numbers mask the damaging moments. Both of his interceptions came in the fourth quarter. The final one effectively ended Houston\u2019s chances. Pressured off the blindside, Stroud\u2019s wobbly throw fluttered into the arms of Antonio Johnson for the game-sealing pick.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this wasn\u2019t an isolated lapse. Through three games, Stroud has failed to elevate the offense. In all, Houston has managed just 38 total points. His passer rating sits at 76.9, his turnover-worthy throw rate at 4.5 percent, and his off-target throw rate at 15.7 percent. Those are all trending toward career lows. These are the kind of numbers that ignite doubt. This is especially true when they need Stroud to compensate for glaring roster flaws.<\/p>\n
To be fair, Stroud isn\u2019t operating behind a pristine wall. Left tackle Aireontae Ersery had a forgettable outing against Jacksonville. The latter committed multiple penalties and allowed pressure that stalled drives. Across the board, the line struggled to handle stunts and blitz packages. This forced Stroud into uncomfortable situations.<\/p>\n
These self-inflicted penalties repeatedly killed momentum and left Stroud to climb uphill on long down-and-distance scenarios. Third-down efficiency continues to be a glaring weakness, too. They had just four conversions on 15 attempts in Week 3. Those numbers speak to deeper systemic issues. That said, quarterbacks bear the burden of covering flaws. Stroud hasn\u2019t done that yet.<\/p>\n
First-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley isn\u2019t on the hot seat yet. However, his play-calling is under scrutiny. The Texans\u2019 scheme lacks rhythm. They have leaned too much on short passes that do little to stretch defenses and have abandoned the run far too quickly. Houston\u2019s attack rarely looks like it dictates terms. The Texans just seem to react conservatively to whatever the defense shows.<\/p>\n
Having said that, Stroud still has chances to make plays within this structure. His missed throws, particularly on clean-pocket opportunities, can\u2019t be pinned solely on scheme. Against Jacksonville, his first interception came without much pressure. It was a throw where he simply didn\u2019t get enough on the ball to Christian Kirk. Coaches can draw up plays, but execution falls on the quarterback.<\/p>\n
To his credit, Stroud didn\u2019t hide after the loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cPenalties are part of us knowing we\u2019re better, but also, we can play a lot better. I could play a lot better,\u201d he admitted postgame. \u201cOur defense has been holding up. We gotta be able to help them. It\u2019s not easy. But, yeah, we just gotta do better.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s right. Houston\u2019s defense has carried its weight, keeping games within reach. The offense just hasn\u2019t held up its end. At some point, a franchise quarterback must rise above surrounding chaos. Down a touchdown with under two minutes left, Stroud had the ball at his own 26-yard line. That was a prime chance to prove he could lead a defining drive. He nearly did, pushing Houston to the Jaguars\u2019 28\u00a0before the interception ended it. That moment sums up his season so far. He was close enough to inspire belief but was undone by mistakes at the worst time.<\/p>\n
History isn\u2019t on Houston\u2019s side. Since 1990, just 2.4 percent of teams starting 0-3 have made the playoffs. Since 2020, no 0-3 team has made it. That reality makes the Texans\u2019 margin for error nonexistent. They don\u2019t just need improvement. They need a turnaround bordering on miraculous.<\/p>\n
Stroud will be at the center of it. His talent is undeniable, and the flashes remain. However, through three weeks, his inconsistency has defined Houston\u2019s season. The Texans don\u2019t need him to be perfect. They just need him to be better. Until that happens, the offense will remain broken, and the season will keep slipping away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
