The New York Jets have gotten off to a poor start under Aaron Glenn, with a 0-3 record now staring the first-time head coach in the face.
Granted, the loss in Week 1 to the Pittsburgh Steelers was tough, and the comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was nearly sensational. Still, the Jets' offense simply hasn't done enough to put this team in a position to win football games early enough.
And CBS Sports' John Breece, who gave the Jets a "B-" grade for their 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers, has dropped an incredible stat that shows exactly where New York's shortcomings are.
"The Jets have now scored exactly zero touchdowns during the first three quarters over the past two weeks and when you start slow like that, that will doom you in the NFL," Breech writes.

Brutal Jets stat a bad way to live
For most, entering the 2025 season, the question marks were all over the offense with Justin Fields and his lack of weapons, and Breech's stat is eyebrow-raising.
In the 30-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Jets were down 23-3 entering the fourth quarter, and against Tampa Bay, they were down 23-6, so in six quarters, New York had been outscored 46 to nine.
That's not a sustainable way to live in the NFL.
But the Jets did rally in Tampa; it was just too little too late, and now they face a Miami Dolphins team who are also looking for their first win of the season.
Something has to give here, and the Jets simply can't go another three quarters without a touchdown.
Will they break this "streak" against Miami? They have to.
