Week 1 did not go as planned.
The Jets lost their season opener 32-19 to the 49ers Monday night. Despite looking in sync on a few early drives, they were largely overmatched by San Francisco.
Aaron Rodgers went 13 of 21 for 167 yards, one touchdown and one interception, but failed to show New York his elite nature. This week’s matchup presents an easier opponent in the Titans, who lost 24-17 to the Bears in Week 1 after leading 17-0.
Will Rodgers, Breece Hall and Co. be able to maintain consistent drives? Or will the Jets fall short again?

Coach Robert Saleh said the Jets are "hopeful" that middle linebacker CJ Mosley will be able to play on Thursday. He suffered a right foot injury. Saleh also all but confirmed Jermaine Johnson has a torn Achilles. He will get an MRI tomorrow to make sure. It is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon for Jermaine Johnson, according to NFL Network. Brutal news for the young defensive end. Jets could ill afford to lose him. That defensive line is thinner than thin. Time to pay Haason Reddick?Jets hope to get Mosley back Thursday

The Jets have held on for a 24-17 win. The defense bent but didn't break. Will McDonald with his second sack was a huge play as the Titans were threatening to score the game-tying touchdown. A lot of issues remain for the defense, but the Jets had to win this game and they did.
Braelon Allen with a monster 20-yard touchdown run to give the Jets a 24-17 lead. Some huge throws from Aaron Rodgers to Mike Williams and Garrett Wilson. 4:27 to go. Time for the defense to stand tall.
Standout defensive end Jermaine Johnson was carted off. CBS reporting that the worry is it's an Achilles injury. Would obviously be brutal news.
The Titans have tied it up with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Will Levis to Calvin Ridley. Jets had double coverage, but Ridley made an acrobatic, diving catch. Safety Chuck Clark was right there, but couldn't make the play. 3:38 left in the third.
The Jets have to settle for a 33-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal and it's 17-10. 5:58 left in the third quarter. Breece Hall up to 94 total yards, 54 on the ground.
Irv Charles blocks the punt for the Jets. They have a chance now to get complete control. They take over at the Titans' 30.
Another impressive drive and the Jets have gone ahead, 14-10. Aaron Rodgers with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Breece Hall. Terrific catch and throw. Hall also had a 30-yard run on the drive.
BREECE GETS THE GRAB! Jets lead 14-10!

Jets trail the Titans, 10-7, at halftime. Former Jet Nick Folk with a 41-yard field goal at the horn. Really, they were badly outplayed. Out-gained, 152-93. All things considered, they are in a good spot. Get the ball to start the second half.
The Jets with a very impressive drive that is capped by an Aaron Rodgers to Braelon Allen touchdown pass from 12 yards out. Jets go 73 yards in 12 plays. A lot of short passing plays. 1:47 left in the half. Kind of remarkable this game is tied at seven.
Brandin Echols, starting in place of the injured D.J. Reed, picked off Will Levis on a bomb. He threw it into double coverage. Now we'll see if the offense can get going.
