The New York Jets' clock management team, led by coach Aaron Glenn and game management coordinator Jon Berger, continues to struggle. In a Week 2 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Jets failed to score in the final four minutes of the first half, extending a streak of seven games without a score in that period. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich took responsibility for the end-of-half stall, noting the team's directive to milk the clock but not score.

The Jets have a minus-55 point differential in the final four minutes of halves over 19 games. Dick Curl, the original clock-management coach under Herm Edwards, was once known as Grandfather Clock. Jon Berger, a former New York Giants computer coordinator and NFL replay VP, now fills that role. Former passing game coordinator Scott Turner emphasized that Glenn must listen to Berger. Meanwhile, quarterback Geno Smith has no interceptions in 65 attempts this season, pushing back on claims of being interception-prone.
