The New York Jets’ season has spiraled into chaos following a drastic midseason shakeup.
After stumbling to a 2-3 start, the franchise parted ways with head coach Robert Saleh, handing the reins to Jeff Ulbrich as interim coach.
They even orchestrated a reunion between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, hoping to spark their offense.
Yet Sunday’s 25-22 loss to a struggling New England Patriots team – who had lost six straight and were forced to field Jacoby Brissett after Drake Maye’s concussion – only deepened their woes.
NFL Analyst Mike Greenberg didn’t mince words, demanding the franchise “fire everybody” – a sentiment that resonates strongly with the frustrated Jets faithful.
Fire everybody. #Jets

Despite the defense holding New England to just 247 yards, their inability to force turnovers or make crucial stops proved costly.
The Jets’ dramatic fall from AFC East contention just three weeks ago to sharing the division’s basement with the Patriots highlights their rapid decline.
There’s no quick fix in sight for this team’s troubles.
Though playoff hopes seem dim, history offers a sliver of optimism.
Three teams in the Super Bowl era have overcome similar predicaments: the 1970 Cincinnati Bengals, 2020 Washington Commanders, and 2022 Jacksonville Jaguars.
However, none faced the added challenge of navigating this territory under an interim head coach.
The Jets’ next test comes Thursday when they host the Houston Texans, as they desperately seek to reverse their fortunes and salvage what remains of their season.
