The New York Jets have started their new era with Aaron Glenn as the head coach in the worst way imaginable. The Jets are 0-5, and losing in London to the Denver Broncos as halftime.

New York has been in close games all season, with four of its six losses coming by a combined 15 points.

However, the Jets have been unable to put a win on the board, and their final drive of the first half against the Broncos on Sunday morning summed up the frustrations of the season.

Jets Disastrous Final First-Half Drive

The Jets got the ball at their own 16-yard line with 3:22 seconds left in the first half, down 10-6.

New York moved the ball up to the 36-yard line with four runs in six plays and the clock trickled down to 1:04 left in the half, and it was fourth down.

The Jets ran a fake punt with a direct snap to running back Breece Hall, and it got just enough yardage to move the sticks.

However, a Hall run, Justin Fields sack and six-yard completion on third and seven left the Jets with over 30 seconds left in the half and another fourth down.

But, rather than calling a timeout immediately, or with time for one play remaining, the Jets let the clock run out and went to halftime down 10-6.

It was fourth down, so it's understandable if New York was hesitant to call its final timeout immediately, in case it didn't pick up the first down. However, the Jets should have at least gotten a hail mary attempt off with a chance at the end zone before the half.

Instead, the Jets got nothing, and it's summed up a rough 0-5 start to the year so far in New York.
