Aaron Glenn’s first order of business when he and the Jets arrived home from London must have been imploring his leaders on offense to conduct a players-only meeting, same as his defensive players did before the trip.
The Jets defense had allowed a mean of 31.4 points in the primary five games, worst within the league.
And the response within the 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday was impressive, producing the team’s first forced turnover of the season and giving the Jets an 11-10 lead by forcing a second-half safety.
The players-only meeting, together with the return of edge rusher Jermaine Johnson and the addition of latest cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (who forced the turnover), helped make the Jets defense appear to be a wholly recent unit in London.
