The New York Jets misplaced their seventh straight recreation to start out the 2025 season on Sunday. The Jets squared off in opposition to the Carolina Panthers at residence in East Rutherford, New Jersey and fell to the Panthers in an unpleasant 13 – 6 affair. The Jets had simply 220 yards of whole offense, and so they allowed extra sacks by the Panthers than the Panthers had racked up in all their earlier video games this season mixed.

Regardless of the whole ineptitude of the Jets offense, the Jets protection stored the group within the recreation proper up till the ignominious finish. The Jets had the ball at their very own 14 yard line with lower than three minutes remaining within the recreation, with all their timeouts. Loads of time to drive the size of the sphere and rating a recreation tying landing. Sadly the Jets couldn’t even drive for a single first down. They went three and out and punted. The Panthers then ran out the clock with out the Jets ever getting one other play on offense. One other dismal loss within the books.
