Jets Coach Hails Preseason Win as Validation for Rebuilding Team

On August 12th, 2025, the New York Jets pulled off a surprising 30-13 victory over the Green Bay Packers in a preseason matchup at Lambeau Field. While some may have dismissed the result as insignificant, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn saw the win as an important validation for the team's ongoing rebuilding project.

"Preseason or not, a win is a win," Glenn stated. "I was always taught if you want to be a winner, not only have to understand how to win, but to understand how to consistently win. This is a great win for our guys." The coach acknowledged there were still areas for improvement, but was pleased with the team's overall performance, saying it reflected their "brand of football."

The victory holds particular significance for the Jets, a franchise that has struggled with losing for years. Glenn believes the win will help instill a winning mentality in his players, providing the belief that their rebuilding efforts are heading in the right direction. "This Jets team needed some sort of validation that what Glenn is building here will get results," the article notes.

While a preseason triumph may not "really" count for much, Glenn and his team are undoubtedly taking it as a positive sign of progress. As the Jets continue their quest to become consistent winners, this unexpected victory over the Packers could prove to be an important stepping stone in their journey.
