Despite this, they persevered with a comeback to stun the Cincinnati Bengals 39-38 on the road for their first win of the year.</p><p>Campbell kept tabs on how Glenn was doing at New York, <a href="https://x.com/nolanbianchi/status/1982886431879229908?t=bNCJyqS6Pl3p5dzSzqFRQA&amp;s=19" rel="noopener">messaging his former defensive coordinator</a> on the achievement. He stated as much during a press conference, per reporter Nolan Bianchi.</p><p>“That was good to see. … To get that first win, it’s a good feeling.

He understood the ups and downs during his first year as a head coach, being proud of his colleague for earning his first win with the Jets.</p><p>Justin Fields has had inconsistent displays throughout his starts but turned a corner in the team’s win over the Bengals. He completed 21 passes out of 32 attempts for 244 yards and a touchdown while adding 31 yards after 11 rushes.</p><p>Breece Hall had his best performance of the season to date. He had 18 of the team’s 37 rushes for 133 yards and two touchdowns while throwing a four-yard touchdown pass himself. It’s clear that the squad’s best players are starting to make progress as they get through the hardships of a difficult start to the season.</p><p>New York has a 1-7 record at the moment, being at the bottom of the AFC East Division standings. They trail the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots in that order. In terms of the AFC standings, they sit at the 15th spot as they are only above the Tennessee Titans.</p><p>The Jets will look forward to their next matchup, being at home.

Mangold was dealing with kidney disease and went public with his condition earlier this month, asking for a kidney replacement. Kidney disease was something that Mangold had dealt with over the last 19 years, and he underwent dialysis weekly.</p><p>As a former football player, Nick Mangold seemed suitable for the Role, but he still wanted to raise awareness of kidney disease and the benefits of being a kidney donor. Mangold’s former Ohio State teammate, All-American linebacker Bobby Carpenter, wrote a big tribute to Mangold on Albert Breer’s “Monday Morning QB” notebook. He talked about how much he meant to the football world, but mainly <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/week-8-nfl-takeaways-colts-jonathan-taylor-talent" rel="noopener">what he meant to his family and friends, and how much they will all miss him</a>.</p><p>Carpenter elaborated on what made Nick Mangold special by saying, “He was a hugger. He had an opinion about everything and would engage with anyone who wanted to chat. Any bad day was instantly better when Nick asked you to bring it in for the real thing. Nick’s approachability and connectability endeared him to everyone despite his demonstrative stature. It’s why he was such a fan favorite, but more importantly, a connector in the locker room. You always felt better after a conversation with Nick. He was the eternal optimist … and that was the biggest driver of his athletic success.”</p><p>Carpenter also said that Mangold was highly personable and that his friendship never waned, no matter how long it had been since they last talked.</p><p>“Nick never knew a stranger,” Carpenter continued. “And it’s why his teammates adored him. He embodied everything Billy Joel sang about: ‘He was quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke.’ But the place he’d rather be was always with his friends and family. His unrelenting loyalty was his finest trait. No matter the time or distance, it is like hopping on a moving train when you see Nick. Your friendship and connection never waned. It’s why we all loved him.”</p><p>Carpenter then emphasized the meaning of this loss, saying, “The Jets lost a legend. The Buckeye Nation lost an All-American. But his teammates and friends lost the best of us.”</p><p>The Ohio State football program lost a titan, and while they had the week off, the New York Jets honored him with<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-breece-hall-td-pass-wild-comeback-bengals-aaron-glenn-win" rel="noopener"> a resilient and emotional win against the Cincinnati Bengals for their first of the season</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At 1-7, the playoff drought is likely to continue, but the offense came alive on Sunday, which was much needed. After taking the week to decide on his starting quarterback, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-to-start-vs-bengals-in-week-8">Jets coach Aaron Glenn went back to Justin Fields</a>. But according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, that <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46734277/nfl-week-8-overreactions-surprises-fantasy-justin-fields-myles-garrett-kirk-cousins" rel="noopener">does not mean</a> Fields is the starter moving forward.</p><p>“Cincinnati’s defense is one of the most permissive in the league and a perfect spot for Fields to get right after a rough recent stretch,” Graziano wrote. “But the Jets have a bye next week before playing the Browns, who have one of the least permissive defenses in the league, led by a player, Myles Garrett, who sacked Drake Maye five times on Sunday. After that, the Jets get the Patriots, who excel at shutting down the run and forcing teams to pass — not the situation the Jets want Fields to be in.”</p><p>Graziano also points out the upcoming trade deadline as a reason that Fields’ struggles may continue. The Jets are likely to trade Breece Hall, who was a dominant force in the fourth quarter on Sunday. Without his top running back and with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-braelon-allen-brutal-injury-timeline-aaron-glenn">Braelon Allen on IR</a>, the running game will suffer. And when Fields has to pass, things have not gone well this year.</p><p>The Jets signed Fields to be their stopgap quarterback with the slight chance of a Daniel Jones or Sam Darnold rise from the ashes. That has not happened, which has fans considering college options at the top of the 2026 NFL Draft. Fields could tumble back to Earth coming out of the bye, assuming he gets the start against the Browns.</p><p>The Jets are on bye in Week 9 at 1-7 and currently own the second pick in the draft.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It didn’t look much better in Week 8 as they found themselves on the wrong end of a 31-16 deficit after three quarters. It appeared their their eighth loss of the season was an inevitability.</p><p>But beleaguered quarterback Justin Fields was having none of it. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-breece-hall-td-pass-wild-comeback-bengals-aaron-glenn-win">He led the Jets</a> to three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and they were able to register a 39-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals for the team’s first win of the season.</p><p>Breece Hall ran five yards over left guard for the first touchdown and Fields followed with a two-point conversion run. After the Bengals scored to restore a two touchdown lead, Fields led the Jets on 5-play, 60-yard drive that culminated with Hall’s 27-yard TD run. The quarterback then hit Isaiah Davis with a pass for another successful tw0-point conversion. The Jets completed the comeback when Hall threw an option pass for a TD to tight end Mason Taylor.</p><p>Fields completed 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards with a touchdown and he did not throw an interception.

The Jets had 254 yards on the ground, and that allowed them to dominate the time of possession.

He was just 41 years old.</p><p>Team owner Woody Johnson <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/nick-mangold-obituary-new-york-jets-ohio-state-10-26-2025" rel="noopener">shared a statement</a> regarding the sad news, according to Randy Lange of NYJets.com. Johnson praised Mangold, not just for being a great player, but for being a great human as well.</p><p>“Nick was more than a legendary center,” said Woody Johnson. “He was the heartbeat of our offensive line for a decade and a beloved teammate whose leadership and toughness defined an era of Jets football. Off the field, Nick’s wit, warmth, and unwavering loyalty made him a cherished member of our extended Jets family.”</p><p>Just weeks before his passing, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-ohio-state-legend-nick-mangold-looking-kidney-donation">Nick Mangold posted on social media</a>, revealing that he was initially diagnosed with kidney disease back in 2006. He also said that he was searching for a kidney transplant.</p><p>“In 2006, I was diagnosed with a genetic defect that has led to chronic kidney disease,” Mangold wrote in a lengthy post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m undergoing dialysis as we look for a kidney transplant. I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have more time.”</p><p>The two-time first-team All-Pro admitted that nobody in his immediate family was a match, as he needed a kidney with type O blood. So, he reached out to the Jets’ community and NFL fans alike, in search of the kidney he needed. Mangold ended that statement, thanking his family for being a part of his life, and said he was remaining positive.</p><p>“Most of all, I’m thankful for my family, who have been my rock every step of the way. This situation has reminded me how lucky I am to have such an amazing family, friends, and community behind me.”</p><p>Mangold played 11 years in the NFL, all with the Jets. On top of being a two-time first-team All-Pro, he also ended his career as a seven-time Pro Bowler, was inducted into the Jets’ Ring of Honor in 2022, and was nominated for the NFL Hall of Fame’s Modern Era class of 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hall left last week’s loss to Carolina with a knee issue, then was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Taylor’s quad injury came out of nowhere on Thursday, dropping him from full participation to not practicing at all.</p><p>Friday brought relief on both fronts. Hall logged a full practice session, signaling the knee issue is minor compared to the serious problem he played through last season. Taylor bounced back with a limited session, and insiders indicated the quad won’t keep him out.</p><p>Getting both back is critical for a 0-7 team averaging just 18.4 points per game.

They have bounced <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-to-start-vs-bengals-in-week-8" rel="noopener">between quarterbacks Justin Fields</a> and Tyrod Taylor. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-woody-johnson-shockingly-bashes-winning-prowess-owner" rel="noopener">Owner Woody Johnson publicly</a> criticized his ability to win in a surprise example of self-awareness. And ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Jets made a slew of roster moves, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1982184209356665216" rel="noopener">including multiple transactions involving injured reserve</a>. </p><p>The Jets are placing wide receiver Josh Reynolds on injured reserve and activating linebacker Quincy Williams for the first time since Week 3, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.</p><p>The return of Williams is a welcome sight to the Jets’ defense. A former 2019 third-round pick, Williams has been a mainstay in New York since signing a three-year, $18 million contract in 2023. The veteran linebacker played just three games this season before suffering a shoulder injury. </p><p>Among qualified Jets’ linebackers, Williams <a href="https://premium.pff.com/nfl/positions/2025/REGPO/defense?position=LB&amp;team=22" rel="noopener">holds the second-highest defensive grade</a> (63.1) and excelled as a pass rusher, gathering four pressures and totaling a 72.1 pass rushing grade, according to Pro Football Focus. Williams has also totaled 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks — good enough to be tied for second on the Jets defense. To make room for Williams, the New York Jets also placed linebacker Cam Williams on injured reserve.</p><p>While Williams’ return should help strengthen the Jets’ defense, the loss of Reynolds further weakens an already struggling New York offense. Averaging less than 19 points per game, the Jets cannot afford to lose offensive weapons. While Reynolds is not a player opposing teams gameplan for, he has been a steady presence alongside receiving threats like Garrett Wilson and Mason Taylor. </p><p>In five games, Reynolds has 11 receptions on 21 targets for 101 yards. Over the last three weeks, Reynolds has averaged three receptions and 27 yards per game. Not crazy numbers, but shockingly enough to be the Jets’ second-leading receiver over that stretch.</p><p>The Jets already faced an uphill climb playing the surging Bengals this Sunday. Now, without top receivers Wilson and Reynolds, the odds of snagging their first win do not look promising. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It appears to be yet another losing season, as the franchise continues to struggle to find success. Things are so bad for the organization right now that even team owner Woody Johnson called himself out in his latest statements.</p><p>Johnson, who is 78 years old, was asked point-blank what makes a good NFL owner by Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The financial mogul admitted that when it comes to winning games, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6747218/2025/10/25/nfl-trade-rumors-news-aj-brown-jerry-jones-targets/" rel="noopener">he is a bad owner</a>. Woody Johnson also claimed that he believes he connects well with the players on the Jets’ roster.</p><p>“Well, I’m obviously not a good owner in terms of winning,” Johnson said. “I think the players can relate to me in some ways, even though I don’t have their background. I have a certain amount of empathy, I think, that they can feel. I can’t be them. I don’t have their background. I didn’t grow up in their neighborhood.</p><p>“There’s no way I can completely understand what they went through and their life. But I think they know that I’m an understanding person. I’m willing to listen to anybody to tell me anything they want to tell me. I’m willing to listen to their ideas, too.”</p><p>Through seven weeks of the season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-didnt-see-woody-johnson-roasting-to-reporters">Jets are the only team</a> in the league without at least one win. What’s even more frustrating is that five of the seven losses were by just one possession. Meaning the team has had several opportunities to earn a win and just haven’t been able to do so.</p><p>The Jets are being led by first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, who served as the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions previously. Meanwhile, the offense is experiencing quarterback woes, as Justin Fields was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor during the 13-6 Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers. However, Fields will get the start on Sunday due to Taylor being ruled out with an injury.</p><p>The remainder of the 2025-26 campaign may be a frustrating one for the Jets, which isn’t new for this franchise.

King starred at Penn State and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams">was taken in the 6th round of the 2025 NFL Draft</a>. During his five-game stint with the Vikings, the rookie mostly appeared on special teams, where he played 77 snaps. In his college career with the Nittany Lions, King had 200 tackles, 18.5 TFLs, and 4.5 sacks.</p><p>Under first-time head coach Aaron Glenn, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-woody-johnson-downplays-fan-frustrations-amid-0-7-start">New York has gotten out to an 0-7 start</a> and is the only team in the NFL without a win. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-rumors-new-york-wouldnt-dare-fire-aaron-glenn-already-right">The miserable start for the Jets has Glenn under fire</a> and already coaching for his job. The Jets’ defense was once a promising unit filled with potential stars, but CB Sauce Gardner has underwhelmed and is out for their Week 8 matchup on the road against the 3-4 Bengals.</p><p>As the former defensive coordinator for the Lions, Glenn was expected to provide a spark for a group that was regressing. Instead, New York is in the middle of the pack in total defense, and their 26.1 points per game allowed is 26th in the league.</p><p>New York is also dealing with injury uncertainty on offense, as WR Garrett Wilson and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-garrett-wilson-mason-taylor-miss-practice-quarterback-drama">TE Mason Taylor missed practice</a> in the lead-up to their game in Cincinnati. In addition, their QB situation is a mess with the Justin Fields experiment already in trouble. Moreover, backup Tyrod Taylor is dealing with an injury concern.</p><p>Fields was benched in the 3rd quarter of last week’s 13-6 loss to the Panthers after he threw for 46 yards. Taylor wasn’t much better as he finished with two costly interceptions down the stretch of a one-score game. For as disappointing as the Jets’ defense has been, their offense has been even worse. The group is putting up 271 yards per game, fourth worst in the league, and has scored only 17 points in their last two games.</p><p>The Jets’ playoff drought is 14 years, tied for the longest among the four major North American professional leagues. That extended stretch of futility looks unlikely to end anytime soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Taking a look at this upcoming Week 8 clash, we’ll make some <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/dolphins-vs-falcons-bold-predictions-for-2025-nfl-week-8-clash">bold predictions</a> for when the <b>New York Jets (0-7)</b> look for their first win against the <b>Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) </b>defending home field.</p><p>The New York Jets continued their winless streak with a 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Failing to score a touchdown for a second-straight week, the window for head coach Aaron Glenn and his team to get on the board is closing. They’ll have a chance to do so as the underdogs once again on the road.</p><p>The Cincinnati Bengals are coming in off a massive 33-31 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second week with Joe Flacco under center. Flacco threw for three touchdowns in his first win as a Bengal, reigniting this passing game and giving receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins the chance to shine once again. They’ll hope to keep that momentum rolling in this game.</p><h2>Jets vs. Bengals Bold Predictions – Week 8, 2025</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cincinnati-Bengals-wide-receiver-JaMarr-Chase-celebrates-a-catch-in-the-fourth-quarter-of-the-NFL-Week-7.jpg"><figcaption>© Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase scores two touchdowns, again.</b></p><p>Despite all the changes and uncertainties at the quarterback position, Ja’Marr Chase has remained as one of the most dangerous threats to opposing NFL defenses. In his last three games, Ja’Marr Chase has totaled four touchdowns on receiving lines of 101-94-161. His most recent game against the Steelers saw a franchise record and career-high 16 receptions, immediately making <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/bengals-news-jamarr-chase-appreciates-joe-flacco-doing-1-job-getting-ball">Chase the go-to option for veteran Joe Flacco</a>.</p><p>Furthermore, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-garrett-wilson-sauce-gardner-both-out-for-bengals-matchup">Jets’ Sauce Gardner is officially ruled out for Week 8</a>, offering a serious gap in the New York secondary that could see both Chase and Higgins find the openings. The Jets’ defense is allowing the <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/2025-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats">ninth-fewest passing yards</a> to offenses this season, but they’ve given up the fifth-most passing touchdowns with 13 – this game is the perfect opportunity for Chase to feast in the red zone and pick up two touchdowns again this season since last doing it against the Detroit Lions in Week 5.</p><p><b>Jets’ Breece Hall (questionable) finally finds the end zone.</b></p><p>While the status of the bold prediction is still rather up in the air, Jets’ RB Breece Hall managed to practice fully on Friday, shedding a positive light on his ‘questionable’ designation with a knee injury. Hall should be able to go in Week 8 against a Bengals’ defense that’s allowed eight rushing touchdowns on the season.</p><p>Despite the 0-7 start, Breece Hall has remained ‘motivated’ to produce as one of the leaders of this offense. Without Garrett Wilson in the lineup and inconsistencies at quarterback, Hall becomes the most valuable offensive weapon for the Jets in this matchup.</p><p>Hall has been wildly effective this season with two 100-yard rushing games already, including 30 or more receiving yards in four games. However, it hasn’t translated to a single touchdown and the Jets’ could seriously use the points given their recent performances. I expect Breece Hall to finally find the end zone in this game as the entire offense hinges on his shoulders.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/New-York-Jets-head-coach-Aaron-Glenn-leaves-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Oct 12, 2025; Tottenham, United Kingdom; New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn leaves the field after an NFL International Series game against the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Aaron Glenn and the Jets get their first win soon, but not this week.</b></p><p>As it stands, five of the Jets’ 10 remaining games are against teams below .500, including the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins who both have just one win. With the anticipation of WR Garrett Wilson and DB Sauce Gardner returning in the near future, the Jets could still avoid a winless season if their most important players can get healthy.</p><p>However, there are just too many injuries at the moment and it seems as though they’re catching this Cincinnati team on the upswing. Quarterback Joe Flacco will do a great job of managing the game and getting the ball to Ja’Marr Chase, so don’t expect this to be the week where the New York Jets find their first win.</p><p><b>Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor will both play QB for the Jets</b></p><p>Head Coach Aaron Glenn <a href="https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/46711426">hasn’t shared much with the media</a> on who will start at quarterback in Week 8 following a lackluster performance from veteran Tyrod Taylor. The switch comes following 45-yard passing day from Justin Fields against the Broncos, but it’s clear neither player has been able to make a noticeable impact for this offense.</p><p>Aaron Glenn and his staff may have to get creative in using both quarterbacks in different passing and rushing situations. Justin Fields has shown massive upside as a ball carrier while Tyrod Taylor is the better game manager. The Jets’ could see some benefits in deploying both players in option sets with Breece Hall. At this point, nothing is off the table and it wouldn’t hurt to try something new.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
