Game Preview

The NFL’s scheduling has placed the New York Jets and four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers in a tough spot, with their first three games spread over just 11 days.

Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans are dealing with their own set of challenges. While they are set for their home opener in Nashville this Sunday, they shift from facing a rookie quarterback to tackling seasoned Super Bowl champion Aaron Rodgers, known for his quick hand and strategic play-calling that can easily lead to touchdown passes.

Titans defensive star Jeffery Simmons praised Rodgers’ abilities, noting his exceptional skill at executing a hard count, comparable only to Titans’ offensive line expert, Bill Callahan. Simmons also highlighted Rodgers’ knack for avoiding tackles, saying, “He doesn’t give you the opportunity to hit him.”

Tennessee is looking to rebound from a 24-17 defeat in Chicago, where they showcased their strongest defensive season opener in nearly 30 years by allowing just 148 yards. Despite building a 17-0 lead, the Titans saw it evaporate following several turnovers and a blocked punt that resulted in a touchdown.

Conversely, the Jets are recovering from a 32-19 loss to San Francisco on Monday night and are keen to avoid an 0-2 start. They face another game shortly, meeting New England on September 19th, adding pressure to an already tight schedule.

“It’s going to be a great challenge,” Jets coach Robert Saleh acknowledged.

Rodgers, who ended last Monday night’s game on the bench after a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in 2023’s opener, threw for 167 yards and a touchdown from a free play. He emphasized the need for the Jets to support their defense by maintaining possession longer than they managed against the 49ers.

“We’ve got to help our defense out," Rodgers stated. "If it takes 30 points to win, we have to score 30, so our performance wasn’t good enough. I hope nobody’s getting frustrated. It’s only one week.”
