New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans: Box score, stats and summary feat. Aaron Rodgers
The New York Jets and the Tennessee Titans met in Week 2 of the NFL season looking to make amends after losing in first week. Even though Aaron Rodgers was largely considered the best quarterback, Will Levis played well for most of the first half, but a costly turnover kept the score at bay.
The match started at 1 p.m. ET, and the referee was Alan Eck. The game was mostly a tight contest, as the Jets were able to keep the score at one possession while the Titans offense faltered at some of the most important spots.

Jets vs. Titans game summary
The game was a tightly contested matchup. The Jets were the favorites, but the team still had a lot of trouble against a surprisingly good Titans, with Will Levis playing way better than in Week 1.
The Jets are now able to win these close games with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. Last season, they’d have no chance with Zach Wilson under center, but the quality play from their quarterback has vastly improved.
Neither team was able to run up the score, but the Jets were much more efficient in the second half. Again, that’s the kind of game they are expected to close out with Rodgers now fully healthy.
After the Jets score a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, the Titans were not able to respond with their final drive, although they’ve moved the ball well. Tennessee is now sitting at a 0-2 record, while New York is now 1-1. Not much has changed with their early season expectations.
The next game for the Tennessee Titans will be against the Green Bay Packers, in which they’ll be looking to avoid a 0-3 start. The Jets, on the other hand, will be in a short turn around as they play the New England Patriots in a Thursday Night Football game.
At least there was a good fight for Will Levis' team. That's something they need.
