New York Jets Week 1 Stock Up, Stock Down

Geno Smith marked his return under center for the New York Jets by guiding the franchise to a 23-10 triumph against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on September 13, 2026. Making his first start for the organization in 3,612 days, the veteran quarterback completed 19 of his 24 throws for 215 yards, with 90 of those yards arriving during a deliberate opening half.

The victory gave Aaron Glenn a successful debut as head coach over his counterpart, Robert Saleh, while the Jets offense piled up 367 total yards.

The Week 1 showdown served as an introductory showcase for several newcomers, with Tennessee countering behind Cam Ward alongside first-round draft selections Carnell Tate and Keldric Faulk, chosen fourth and 31st overall. Despite the Titans fielding multiple rookies in the high-stakes clash, New York dictated terms through their rushing attack and defensive unit to move to 1-0 on the campaign, dropping Tennessee to 0-1.
