The 2024 season is the New York Jets' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their sixth under general manager Joe Douglas and their fourth and final under head coach Robert Saleh. On October 8, following a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, the Jets fired Saleh and promoted defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to be the interim head coach.[1]
This is the Jets' second season after acquiring four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Following a season-ending Achilles injury to Rodgers in Week 1 of the 2023 season, the Jets are looking to improve on their 7–10 record from 2022 and 2023, return to the playoffs for the first time since 2010, and end the longest active playoff drought in American professional sports.[2] They will also attempt to put an end to eight consecutive losing seasons.
Despite the return of Rodgers and the addition of several key offensive players such as Mike Williams and Davante Adams, the Jets had their worst start since 2021, beginning the year 2–6.
