The Jets stormed into the bye with a dramatic comeback victory on the road, roaring back from a 31-16 deficit to the Bengals in the fourth quarter to claim a 39-38 win in Cincinnati. With his first win under his belt as Jets' head coach, Aaron Glenn was asked Monday what he thought about the timing of his club's off week.
"I'll be honest, and I'll say, man, I wish we were playing next," Glenn said before adding, "but I do feel like this is a good time for us. Because now, our focus, again as it's always been, it's been on us and some of the things that we just need to clean up. We're going to go back and we're going to self-scout as far as coaches and we're going to talk to the players about things. About the good, bad, the ugly, and the solutions, also, for us moving forward. So, there's a good and a bad to it."
Following their bye, the Jets will play two games in four days. After they host the Cleveland Browns (2-6) on Nov. 9, the Green & White will have a couple of practices to prepare before they head to New England for a Thursday night divisional matchup against the surging Patriots (6-2) on Nov. 13.
"Obviously after you get a win you want to continue going, but I also know that there's some things that we have to reflect on and try to continue to fix," Glenn said. "And understand, man, there's a foundation that we're trying to create and that is an ongoing process, and we feel good about that. Listen, even though the record is not where [we want it] to be – we feel good about the foundation that we're trying to set, so we can be a team that's going to win continuously."
