Justin Fields in Crisis as Cowboys Dominate Jets, Leaving New York Winless Under Glenn—What’s Next for the Struggling Team?

Watching the Dallas Cowboys light up the scoreboard once again, you can’t help but marvel at just how potent their offense has become — it’s like every time they take the field, points just keep raining down. Meanwhile, the New York Jets find themselves in a far different narrative, struggling mightily on both sides of the ball, caught in a spiral they just can’t seem to escape. This past Sunday’s 37-22 rout wasn’t just another win for Dallas; it was a statement, marking their third 30-plus point game in just five outings as they compile a curious 2-2-1 mark. On the other hand, New York’s woes deepen under first-time head coach Aaron Glenn, whose defensive ‘guru’ label hasn’t yet translated to stops — giving up 27 or more points in every game this season, a rough start nobody saw coming. The Cowboys’ show wasn’t only about offense; defensive pressure re-emerged, sacking Jets’ QB Justin Fields five times and keeping New York scoreless until the game’s dying moments. This clash didn’t change the skeptics’ minds about Dallas’s defense—still one of the league’s worst in yards allowed—but it sure piled on the Jets’ misery as they limped to 0-5, their season slipping fast away in a fresh chapter that’s been anything but hopeful. The Cowboys, meanwhile, are building momentum, with breakout performances lighting up the field, hinting at a team peaking at just the right time.

There’s nothing wrong with the Dallas Cowboys offense.

The same can’t be said about about the New York Jets on either side of the ball.

The Cowboys continued to pile on points Sunday in 37-22 blowout of the New York Jets, who couldn’t get anything going against one of the worst defenses in football. It’s the third time in five games the Cowboys have scored 30-plus points in a 2-2-1 start to the season.

It’s the fifth in five games time the Jets have given up 27-plus points under first-year coach Aaron Glenn, who was hired in New York as a defensive guru tasked with changing the culture in New York. Instead, the season is likely already lost to an 0-5 start, the first by a first-year head coach in franchise history.

On Sunday, the Cowboys lit up the Jets it with big games from running back Javonte Williams and second-year receiver Ryan Flournoy, who nearly doubled his career receiving tally with a 114-yard game as Dak Prescott’s top target.

And for the first time this season, the Cowboys defense looked competent while sacking Justin Fields five times and holding the Jets out of the end zone until garbage time in the fourth quarter.

Limiting a Jets team that dropped to 0-5 with the loss won’t win over skeptics of a defense that entered Sunday last in the league in yards allowed. It only adds up to more misery in New York for a Jets season that’s already lost five games into a new era with head coach Aaron Glenn and quarterback Justin Fields.

The Cowboys defense kept pressure on Fields all day and looked little like the sieve of a unit that Dallas has fielded in the aftermath of the Micah Parsons trade.
