Tennessee Titans embarrassed by Jets, 23-10, to open 2026 with a thud - Titans Wire
The more things change, the more they stay the same for the Tennessee Titans, who were dominated by the New York Jets, 23-10, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville to kick off the 2026 regular season.
Cam Ward and the offense couldn't establish anything, and the Jets dominated on the ground and in time of possession on an incredibly hot day at the stadium. Tennessee's defense managed zero pressure in Robert Saleh's debut and allowed New York to have their way.
The Jets were the better team in all three phases of the game, and Tennessee starts the Saleh era with a thud.
When Jets running back Breece Hall plunged in from four yards out to extend the lead to 17-3 in the third quarter. With the Titans' offense struggling to get anything going, a two-score deficit was more than they could ever overcome.
The Titans appear to have made it through the contest without any added injuries, leaving linebacker Cedric Gray as the only player who will be monitored heading into Week 2.
Titans head coach Robert Saleh will meet with reporters on Monday afternoon to wrap up the week and set the stage for Week 2.Β Select players will be made available after Saleh.
Tennessee will return to practice on Wednesday ahead of a Week 2 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Kickoff is scheduled for Noon CDT.
