How NY Jets’ Geno Smith can punish the Bears’ defense
Three weeks into the 2026 season, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has done everything fans could have asked for, and then some.

3 NY Jets players due to see their production trend up
Save for the league’s most consistent superstars, every NFL player goes through ebbs and flows each season. Sometimes, the ebbs come within the first few weeks of the year.

Top 3 areas where NY Jets HC Aaron Glenn must improve
Aaron Glenn’s first three games of the 2026 season have been objectively better than the first three games of his debut campaign. The Jets are 1-2 instead of 0-3, and they look far more competitive and competent in the process. However, for a coach who now owns a 4-16 career record, the bar is much ...

What NY Jets fans are probably missing about David Bailey
Relative to the lofty expectations of being the second overall draft pick, David Bailey’s first three games with the New York Jets have been somewhat underwhelming in certain ways.
