Overview
- The Jets beat the Tennessee Titans 23-10 in Week 1, outgaining Tennessee 367-195 and sustaining a clock-chewing 19-play drive that produced a field goal.
- Geno Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards with no interceptions and was not sacked, giving a clean, efficient first game back with the franchise.
- Breece Hall carried the run-heavy attack, rushing 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while Braelon Allen added 40 yards on 10 carries.
- Coaches credited the offensive line for keeping Smith clean and enabling the run game, but the offense went just 2 for 12 on third downs and was flagged eight times, including two delay-of-game penalties.
- The win validates offseason moves — hiring Reich, adding Smith and reinforcing the line — but the team must fix third-down execution, discipline and minor injuries before the home opener vs. Green Bay.
