DETROIT — Aaron Glenn held his right thumb and index finger about two inches apart.
“It’s this gap right here that we have to close,” the Jets coach said. “We’re fighting our asses off to close that gap. … We’re going to continue to work to close that gap, and then we’ll be on the other side of these games. I truly believe that.”
On this day, the Jets were on the wrong side of a 31-24 loss to the Lions, and the loss and Glenn’s words were a reminder that the Jets are still a work in progress.
Look, if you had told a Jets fan in August that the team would lose by three points to the Packers in overtime and seven points to the Lions in a game they could have won in the fourth quarter, they probably would have signed up for that.
