New York Jets Defense

✦ Blitz AI

The New York Jets defense rates at 9.7, placing them 29th among 32 NFL defenses. Through five games in 2026, the unit has improved 3.2 points from its previous rating, driven by a blend of the current season's performance and the team's 2025 baseline, which was substantially weaker than prior years. The Jets rank in the bottom half of the position in takeaway rate (17th percentile) and efficiency allowed (33rd percentile), offsetting more modest performance in yards allowed per game (41st percentile) and sacks per game (39th percentile). With only five games played, the current season carries limited weight in the overall rating, making the team's historically low baseline a significant drag on the evaluation.
