The New York Jets suffered a 35-12 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium, extending their losing streak to four games. Quarterback Geno Smith threw his helmet at the bench after a fourth-down sack, while right tackle Armand Membou spiked his helmet following a sack by Chris Jones, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Jets, now 2-7, have struggled offensively, failing to score a touchdown despite 32 plays in Chiefs' territory.

Running back Breece Hall noted the team's long-standing red zone issues. Coach Aaron Glenn, facing a 5-21 record, works to prevent resignation within the locker room as the defense has allowed 127 points over the last four games. The special teams assigned Andrew Beck to kickoff to improve coverage, but he incurred a penalty.

Unless a miracle occurs, the Jets are on track for an 11th straight losing season and 16th consecutive year out of the playoffs.
