Jets steamrolled by Cowboys in blowout loss to fall to 0-5

Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.Aaron Glenn called a timeout with 1:56 remaining in the first half and dreams of the Jets tying the score and getting a fresh start.Everything that could go wrong did go wrong over the next 116 seconds, and the Jets were buried on their way back to the locker room.The Jets committed two penalties, went three-and-out with a sack on offense, and were hit for five gains of at least 10 yards to feed into two touchdowns allowed during a disastrous post-two-minute-warning stretch that turned a close game into a 37-22 blowout loss to the Cowboys.Just like that, the Jets are 0-5 for the first time since 2020, when they dropped their first 13 games.

And with a trip to London to face the Broncos on deck, the path only gets more difficult before a possible reprieve against the Panthers.With 11 minutes remaining and the scoreboard reading 30-6, MetLife Stadium sounded like Jerry’s World East as a “Let’s Go Cowboys!” chant rained down.It was impossible to think the Jets would be down 23-3 at the half when Breece Hall was cutting through the red zone with a chance to cut into a 10-3 deficit.But Hall — whose first half included runs of 22, 21, 16 and 10 yards — lost a fumble at the 13-yard line.An undeterred Glenn thought he might be able to give his listless offense a shot to make amends, so he called his first timeout to freeze the Cowboys before second-and-10 from the 9-yard line.Then came the chunk yardage: 10, 14, 46, 11 and a 5-yard touchdown.The second touchdown — after the Jets possessed the ball for an entire 28 seconds — was simpler: A 66-yard run by Javonte Williams and a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson.Game over, in the blink of an eye.The kings of garbage-time fantasy stats made the final score closer than it really was with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes.

One included a spectacular individual effort by Garrett Wilson (...
