Geno Smith Jumps Multiple Spots in QB Rankings Despite Jets Loss

The New York Jets lost another game this past weekend, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in a blowout loss on the road.

With the loss to Kansas City, the Jets have now dropped four straight games, with the team falling to 2-7 on the season. The last few weeks have been brutal for New York, with the team feeling like they should be better than the record says.

Due to the losses, there have been calls for the organization to fire head coach Aaron Glenn, giving the team new direction. But to this point, New York has resisted on making any calls on Glenn, giving them more leeway to work with.

However, if the team were to continue to falter, Glenn's seat as the head coach could get even hotter as the year moves on. But for now, Glenn will be tasked with helping this team try to get back on track.

In the loss to the Chiefs, quarterback Geno Smith struggled, throwing for 165 yards and no touchdowns. The entire New York offense was poor, but much of the blame will fall on the shoulders of Smith.

For the year, Smith has thrown for 2,078 yards with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions, putting together a decent year. Smith has limited the turnovers, but the Jets offense as a whole has been very inconsistent.

In a new quarterback ranking from NFL analyst Henry McKenna of Fox Sports, Smith came in ranked at No. 19 following the loss to the Chiefs. This saw the Jets starter move up three spots despite the blowout loss.

For Smith, he will continue to lead the Jets, trying to get this team to salvage the rest of the season. While New York is likely out of the playoff picture, Smith can still help the team grab some wins.

If Smith can push the ball down the field, it could help the Jets out, but he's been given little help from the offensive line. Smith can't do it all, but he's done what he can for this Jets team.

The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Jets, with the team welcoming the Buffalo Bills to town this coming week. Buffalo is currently 7-1 on the year, and the Jets will have to overcome a major challenge to get the win.

But the two teams know each other well, and rivalry games can get weird, no matter what the records are between the sides.
