Week 5 is ripe for Jets and Aaron Glenn to flip the narrative

The Jets return to MetLife Stadium on Sunday in the midst of a three-game losing streak with their season on the brink of slipping away. After a complete dud of a performance at Chicago last week, the Jets (1-3) spoke about having a sense of urgency to beat the Browns (3-1) on Sunday and get a much-needed win.  Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.“That definitely plays into it.

I’d be lying if I said it didn’t,” wide receiver Garrett Wilson said of the urgency for a win.“The reality of it is we have an AFC team, a team that we played, I feel like, every year since I’ve been in the league.

We always know the stakes with this team.You know this part of the schedule that we’re going into.

You can gain a lot of ground, you can lose a lot.So just knowing the stakes. “A three-game losing streak, no one wants to endure that, but that’s where we’re at right now.

It definitely kicks up the human aspect of we’ve got to get on the board.We’ve got to get on the board now.” It seems impossible that the Jets could play worse than they did in the 23-12 loss to the Bears.

The numbers from that game are staggering.None more than the play disparity of 89 plays for the Bears to 32 plays for the Jets.

Chicago had more first downs (34) than the Jets had plays. The Browns come to MetLife riding a three-game winning streak that has involved three straight fourth-quarter comebacks.First-year coach Todd Monken’s decision to name Deshaun Watson as his starting quarterback looks like a good one right now. For the Jets, this is the beginning of a four-game stretch that feels like it will make or break their season.

After the Browns, the Jets travel to the Patriots before home games with the Dolphins and Raiders.They need to go at least 2-2 in this stretch to prevent their season becoming more about mock drafts than actual games. As bad as the Jets need this one overall...
