Rookie Braelon Allen scores 2 touchdowns, Jets hold off Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Braelon Allen, the NFL's youngest player, ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 4:31 left to put Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets ahead to stay as they beat the Tennessee Titans 24-17 on Sunday.

Rodgers threw for 176 yards and two TDs and got to kneel down for his first victory as the Jets' starting quarterback. One of those TD passes by the 40-year-old Rodgers was to the 20-year-old Allen, marking a score by the NFL's oldest and youngest players.

The Jets (1-1) ruined the home opener for Titans first-year coach Brian Callahan, whose offense was rolling until a pair of back-to-back turnovers by second-year quarterback Will Levis.
