On a brutally hot and humid late summer afternoon in Tampa, Florida, the New York Jets lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 29 – 27.

The Jets mounted an incredible comeback on Sunday, as they overturned a 17-point fourth quarter lead in dramatic fashion to go ahead by one with two minutes to go, only to then give up a late field goal to lose in heartbreaking fashion, 29-27.

For much of the game, it never really looked like being anything other than a comfortable Bucs win, but the Jets scored two late touchdowns to make it a one-possession game and then Will McDonald’s incredible field goal block and touchdown return suddenly had the Jets on top.

Taylor, starting for the injured Justin Fields, completed his first pass of the second quarter, at which stage he was 7-for-8 for 55 yards, and Nick Folk’s field goal capped his second successful drive to start the game to make it 6-3 Jets. Over the remainder of the half, Taylor got absolutely nothing going, as he completed three of eight passes for zero yards with the pick-six and was sacked twice, losing a fumble. He padded his stats on the two late drive to end up with almost 200 passing yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, 22-9. Though both teams entered the contest in search of their first win, New York’s up-and-comers were no match for Kansas City’s veteran leadership during the primetime matchup.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown against the Giants’ secondary.

The Giants’ fanbase was clearly frustrated during their home opener, as Russell Wilson threw two interceptions and was held to just 160 passing yards. 

Standout linebacker Nick Bolton was among Kansas City’s top defensive performers, with 14 combined tackles in the game.

This season, there will be seven new head coaches. That means seven head coaches were replaced since the start of last season.

Last year, there were eight new NFL head coaches. It was five the year before that, and a stunning 10 in 2022.

In other words, it’s inevitable that some of the head coaches at the start of this season will be replaced by the start of the 2026 season. That’s the nature of an impatient league. Here are the seven coaches on the hot seat this season.
