Aaron Rodgers playing for the Jets - Source: Getty
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.
Ad
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.
Ad
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.

Henrique Bulio
Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.
Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique's favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.
If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.
Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.
Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
