The New York Jets are facing mounting pressure as they approach Week Eight with a 2-5 record and a dwindling opportunity to turn their season around. The team entered the season with high hopes of competing for a Super Bowl, but after a disappointing 2-3 start and a close Week Five loss to the Vikings in London, they made a bold move by firing head coach Robert Saleh. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was promoted to interim head coach, tasked with finding solutions amid a tough season.
In Week Six, after a narrow 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Jets sought to jumpstart their offense by trading for Davante Adams, reuniting him with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Despite the high-profile addition, the impact was not immediately felt, as they suffered a tough 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week Seven.
Looking ahead, the Jets are now hoping for a spark from edge rusher Haason Reddick, who just ended a holdout that kept him off the field for the start of the season. Reddick’s debut could bolster the Jets’ struggling defense, giving the team a much-needed boost as they fight to keep their season and playoff hopes alive.
