Following a 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, HC Aaron Glenn remains focused on building a foundation through consistent improvement.
"To consistently win, I do know this -- there has to be improvement," Glenn said. "And to me, I saw improvement within that game. Does that mean that we're going to go on this deal of winning every one of our games? No. But I know this -- it gives us a better chance to win. I know everybody wants to win, but nobody wants to go through the hard stuff, and that's what we're going through right now."
Ahead of the Week 6 matchup, Glenn acknowledged a need for progress defensively. The Jets seemed to find some answers on Sunday when the team limited the Broncos to 13 points and only allowed Denver to score a single TD.
After the Denver TD in the first quarter, the Jets did not allow another score until the game-winning FG in the fourth quarter. The team recorded its first takeaway, took the lead in the second half after a safety and did not allow a single passing yard in the third quarter. The stout performance came after the defense gathered for a players' only meeting last week.
"It looked really good when it came to how we want to play defense," Glenn said. "I give a lot of credit to \[DC\] Steve Wilks and that defensive staff, and those players. They got together and they wanted to do well and have a good showing. I will say this -- that is something for us to build on, and I'm looking forward to next week and seeing exactly how they're going to play."
