For the second consecutive game to begin the 2024 season, the New York Jets defense did not quite play up to its lofty standards.
Against a Tennessee team that doesn’t exactly have the NFL’s most intimidating offensive roster, the Jets often struggled to get stops. The Titans had five offensive drives in which they gained at least 50 yards; they had only two of these against the Bears in Week 1. Luckily, those five drives only translated to 17 points, allowing the Jets to pull off the win, but it was troubling to see how easily Tennessee moved the ball at times.
