Geno Smith marked his first starting appearance for the New York Jets since 2016 by guiding the squad to an opening-week 23-10 triumph against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. New York's offense controlled the tempo throughout the contest, amassing 367 yards, orchestrating a sustained 19-play drive, and retaining possession for upwards of 38 minutes.
Following the victory, head coach Aaron Glenn remarked that he fully anticipated such high-level execution from the veteran quarterback.
Both Smith and running back Breece Hall directed their praise to the offensive front, which kept Smith upright without allowing a single sack despite Tennessee's heavily funded pass-rushing unit. Smith also openly critiqued the opposing defense for failing to mount any pressure during the Week 1 clash.
