The Struggles of the Jets’ 2025 Season
New York, NY – The New York Jets have wrapped up the 2025 NFL season with a disheartening 3–14 record, representing the franchise’s worst performance since 2020. This unprecedented season was notable not only for the Jets finishing last in the AFC East division, but also for setting an NFL record by failing to record a single interception throughout the entire season.

With unwavering determination, local entrepreneurs and businesses alike can relate to the Jets’ struggles, demonstrating resilience even in the toughest conditions. There’s a lesson to be gleaned here about how commitment and a thoughtful approach can lead to eventual success.
Season Overview
This tumultuous season began with promise, as the Jets started with a 2–3 record before head coach Robert Saleh was dismissed on October 8, 2024. Even under interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, the Jets struggled to find their footing, ultimately finishing the year with a disappointing 3–14 record.
Notable Games
The season was strewn with significant defeats that showcased the Jets’ struggles on both ends of the field. A particularly alarming performance came in Week 6, when they fell 13–11 to the Denver Broncos in London, managing a mere 82 total net yards on offense. Thankfully, Week 8 brought a much-needed victory—39–38 against the Cincinnati Bengals—signifying the Jets’ first win of the season and highlighting their capacity to fight back amid adversities.
Record-Breaking Statistics
Defensively, the 2025 season saw the Jets make a historic blunder, as they became the first team since 1933 to not record a single interception over an entire season. This record stands as a sobering reminder of the areas needing improvement within the organization.
Coaching and Management Changes
The Jets’ leadership faced substantial changes throughout the season. Following the firing of head coach Saleh, general manager Joe Douglas was also let go on November 19, 2024, after a Week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. To finish out the season, Phil Savage was designated as the interim general manager, navigating these challenging transitions.
Looking Ahead
As the Jets reflect on a season filled with obstacles, the organization is expected to pivot towards rebuilding its core and making strategic decisions during the offseason aimed at enhancing performance in the upcoming year. Echoing the sentiment of many Indianapolis small businesses seeking to thrive in a competitive marketplace, the Jets face the need for resilience and reinvention.
