The New York Jets took a 23-10 win in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans in a game that didn’t even seem that close.
That Jets (1-0) left some things out on the field against the Titans (0-1). It could’ve been even more lopsided considering Tennessee scored their final points against New York when it was already all over.
But the Jets might have something to prove still. As Gang Green looks to end their playoff drought, beating the Titans was a great way to start off on the right foot. However, there is a debate going on.
Was it a good win by the Jets? Or a bad loss by the Titans? Reactions in the NFL world to the game tell that story.
With that, here is Jets Wire’s roundup of national media reactions following Week 1:

The Titans keep finding new ways to hit new levels of rock bottom. Getting utterly destroyed by the Jets at home is impossible to recover from.

Jets rookie pass rusher David Bailey with a team-leading 6 pressures (23.1% pressure rate) in the season-opening win against the Titans.
Had a sack too (was just pushing Cam Ward out of bounds). But the impact was felt.

Even I did not have the Titans getting absolutely swamped in all three phases today by the New York Jets

Jets dominating the Titans. Offense looks amazing.
Geno Smith is playing efficient football and spreading the ball around. I’ve love the playcalling from Frank Reich
This will be the best Jets offense since 2015

The Titans had ONE drive in today’s game of longer than 2:20, and it was their final possession of the day.
The Jets had the ball for roughly 65% of the game and ran nearly 20 more plays than their opponents.
Dominated the LOS and controlled the game from start to finish.

Some of the mess from the Titans certainly looks familiar to Jets fans.

The Eagles need to handle business in Week 1.
But looking ahead to Week 2…the Titans are getting absolutely cooked by the Jets today.
New York has outgained Tennessee 308 to 82.

the titans signed a bunch of shitty giants and jets players and their fans thought they’d be good

The Jets offense has so much room to breathe, consistently.
The Titans offense feels like it’s being played in a phone booth, consistently.

Great job by the #Jets and coaching staff. Put together a sound gameplan and the #Titans never had a shot

jets run game looks legit. breece hall and braelon allen are both running well, geno is getting the ball where it needs to go and most importantly…

This is about to get ugly.
The Titans are down two scores.
Which means Cam will have to throw more. Between that and the Jets are averaging about 7 yards a carry…this could get out of hand quickly.
