Jets' Defense Turns Corner with Two Interceptions Against Steelers

The New York Jets' defense has made significant strides in forcing turnovers this season. Last year, they became the first team in NFL history to fail to record a single interception for an entire season.

However, with the addition of All-Pros like Minkah Fitzpatrick and investments in improving the pass rush, the team seems to be turning a corner in this area.

In their 17-0 win over the Steelers on Friday, the Jets intercepted two passes, with Andre Cisco getting the party started in the first half and Samuel Womack III responding with his own interception later on.

While it's still early to get too excited, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn expressed pride in the team's focus on the present moment and their improved mindset in forcing turnovers. 'I think 2025 was 2025, and I think we're trying to turn over a new leaf, so we haven't spoken about it at all,' Wright said.

Glenn also acknowledged that getting pressure on quarterbacks is crucial in creating turnovers and emphasized the importance of both sides of the ball working together. While this preseason has been promising, the real test will come when games actually matter.
