The New York Jets suffered a 23-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12 of the 2025 season. However, the bigger news is what this latest defeat means for the green and white.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini shared after the game that this loss by the green and white clinched a “10th straight losing season.” Since 2016, the Jets have finished below .500 every single year.
That includes a two-win season, two four-win seasons, three five-win seasons, and three seven-win seasons. It is still to be determined what 2025 ends up being. However, even in a best-case scenario, the Jets can only finish 8-9 if they win the final six games of the season.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Jets are an underdog in every single game remaining in this 2025 campaign.
Jets Made Things Interesting but That Wasn’t Enough
Depending on your betting platform of choice, the Jets were between a 13.5 to 16.5 point underdog on the road against the Ravens.
They weren’t expected to win, let alone compete against the red-hot Ravens. Baltimore had won four in a row and had desires of making the playoffs and winning the AFC North.
Much to the surprise of the rest of the league, the Jets somehow led 7-3 at halftime. It didn’t last. The Ravens outscored the Jets 20-3 the rest of the way, and that was all she wrote.
“Tough loss today. I feel bad for the players, and I just told them how much I love them and how much the effort that they gave was outstanding. Man, to not get a victory when I think those guys really played the first half exactly how we wanted to,” head coach Aaron Glenn explained after the game.
“I believe in these guys, I believe in this team, and I believe in the effort they give us. That is one thing that is not going to go away, and as a coach, that is one thing that you love about the players that we have in that locker room — no matter what the situation is, those guys are going to continue to play,” Glenn added.
This Is the Worst Stretch in Franchise History
The Jets are set to miss the playoffs for the 15th consecutive season. That is the longest drought in the NFL and the longest drought in franchise history.
The Jets have literally never been worse in their 65-year history. That isn’t Aaron Glenn’s fault. He wasn’t here for the entirety of this current drought, but it just goes to show how much work he has to do.
Coach Glenn needs to turn around a team mired in medicority and a fan base mired in losing. You have to learn how to win, and you need to eradicate the losing funk. When things start to go wrong, people whisper, “Same Old Jets.”
Coach Glenn claims he doesn’t know what that means, but he does.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will this Jets rebuild. The good news is this team hasn’t quit on Glenn, and that’s noteworthy. However, a foundation built on moral cookies will eventually crumble.
The key to the Jets’ turnaround is simple: win games. Executing that won’t be as easy a task.
