Jets Surrender 10-Point Lead, Lose 20-17 in Overtime to Packers

The defeat puts coach Aaron Glenn’s late-game decisions under immediate scrutiny.

Overview

  • The New York Jets fell 20-17 in overtime at MetLife Stadium after blowing a 17-7 fourth-quarter lead, with rookie Trey Smack kicking a 26-yard game‑winner Sunday.
  • Coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged he did not use a timeout late in regulation and drew criticism for going for short runs on fourth-and-1 and for choosing to receive the overtime kickoff.
  • Discipline and special teams mistakes cost the Jets, who had 13 penalties for 156 yards and allowed a 63-yard Skyy Moore punt return that set up the game‑tying score.
  • New York’s offense struggled to run and protect the quarterback, with Breece Hall gaining 29 yards on 16 carries and Geno Smith facing repeated pressure including two overtime sacks.
  • Green Bay improved to 1-1 but the win exposed problems for the Packers too, as they committed 14 penalties, lost starters Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele to early injuries, and scraped out a victory despite under 200 yards.
