New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn on the sidelines during the second half Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.

The New York Jets' fake punt play on their final first-half possession against the Denver Broncos was only the start of a confusing string of coaching decisions in London.

With just over a minute left in the first half, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn called timeout ahead of a fourth-and-1 play from New York's own 37-yard line. They then ran a fake punt play, and running back Breece Hall took the direct snap and got the first down. Then Glenn called a second timeout at the one-minute mark.

But rather than follow the usual, two-minute drive formula of calling primarily passing plays to preserve time on the clock, New York immediately ran the ball following their timeout.

When Hall was stopped after a five-yard gain, Glenn held onto his final timeout, and the Jets quickly lined up for a passing play on second down.

At this point, NFL Network announcer Kurt Warner said he was "speechless."

Quarterback Justin Fields took a sack, then Glenn called New York's last timeout of the first half, a move Warner criticized.

"After the sack, you let the Broncos call their last timeout in that situation, and then you decide what you're going to do on third down. You still leave the Broncos here a timeout. You're in a third-and-long situation, you don't pick this up, obviously you've got to punt it back to the Broncos," Warner said.

The Jets did not get a first down on the ensuing third-and-8 play – a pass over the middle – then Denver let the clock run out to end the first half instead of calling timeout to force a punt and try to score.

"The Brits are wondering what is happening in London, and so are the American announcers," NFL Network's Rich Eisen quipped from the booth.

Announcers react to Jets vs. Broncos confusing end of first half

Eisen and Warner were baffled by some of the coaching decisions at the end of the first half of the Jets' meeting with the Broncos in London.

Warner took to social media at halftime to share more confusion.

The Jets got the ball back to begin the second half and put together a 37-yard drive that ended in a field goal to cut their deficit to one point.

On the Broncos' second possession of the second half, a holding call in the end zone resulted in a go-ahead safety for the Jets.

New York went on to lose the game, 13-11.

Justin Fields explains first half ending

Asked about the Jets' decision-making at the end of the first half in London, Fields explained that New York didn't want to give the Broncos the ball back with a chance to score.

"I think the biggest thing is, our thought was not let them end the half with the ball," Fields said. "We wanted to end the half with the ball, and we were trying to play it like that, so that was kind of the goal right there."

Fields ended the game with more sacks taken (9) than the Jets had first downs (8). He also had -10 net passing yards with the 55 yards lost on sacks to his 45 total passing yards.

Garrett Wilson reacts to first half ending

NFL Network's cameras caught an emotive Wilson confronting Glenn on the sideline as the first half ended in London.

After the game, reporters asked Wilson about his interaction with Glenn.

"I just didn't know exactly what the plan was," Wilson said. "Once I figured it out, I was disappointed. I'll just say that."

One reporter asked if Wilson was referring to the decision for the offense not to run a final play as the clocked ticked down in the second quarter.

Wilson said, "I didn't know exactly what the plan was. Once we converted the fourth down, I just thought we were trying to make a play. And then obviously, we get to another fourth down and it's a tough spot to be in. In hindsight, I get why they did that, but in the moment, I was just like, 'man…'. I don't know."
