The Jets produced 285 yards of offense, outgaining the Packers by 86 yards.
They also controlled the clock, holding possession for 37:40 compared with Green Bay’s 26:57.
New York won the turnover battle, too.
Add in a 10-point advantage with 11:04 remaining in the fourth quarter, and the Jets appeared to have nearly everything working in their favor.
Yet they still found a way to lose, falling 20-17 to the Packers in overtime at MetLife Stadium after committing 13 penalties for 156 yards.
The most damaging infraction came in overtime, when Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was flagged for unnecessary roughness against Chris Brooks following Brooks’ 15-yard reception.
With the penalty added, Green Bay moved to the Jets’ 22-yard line. Jordan Love then connected with Matthew Golden for 15 yards, putting the Packers in position for Trey Smack to win the game with a 26-yard field goal.
Brownlee did not speak with reporters after the game, but Jets head coach Aaron Glenn addressed the costly mistake.

“It just can’t happen,’’ Glenn said. “I don’t think it’s anything he doesn’t know. It can’t happen. We can’t let our emotions get the best of us in a situation like that because we have to make sure we do what’s right to try to go win the game. That was one of the decisions we didn’t make correctly. I’d say that.”
“As an aggressive player, there are going to be aggressive penalties at times. Obviously, it was untimely. But we trust him, and I don’t think we’ll harp on him too much,” Cisco said.
Brownlee’s penalty drew the most attention, but it was far from the only mistake that contributed to the Jets’ overtime loss.
“It’s unfortunate,’’ Tippmann said. “I was one that had one. You know, those are plays that you wish you had back, stuff that you’ve got to lock into the moment, make sure you’re playing in the moment and that you’re fully there. And it’s just something I wish I had back.”
The penalties and other lapses were among the issues Glenn highlighted after the game.
“The penalties, listen, they were on both sides,’’ Glenn said. “I think we had 13 [and Green Bay] had 14, so, obviously, they were calling it like that.”
Green Bay did commit more penalties than New York, but the Jets were charged with 23 more penalty yards.
“I know this,’’ Glenn said. “Next week, we have a number of things we have to fix. And those things I just talked about are some of them.”
