The New York Jets' defense was so bad in the 2025 season that defensive coordinator Steve Wilks didn't even make it to the end of the year before getting fired. The team has not intercepted a pass this season, but the biggest problem with this unit is how lifeless the pass rush has looked at times.
Between Jermaine Johnson II getting his feet back under him after his Achilles injury and Will McDonald stagnating from a developmental point of view, the Jets simply can't get to the quarterback regularly enough to generate any errant throws.
