The Jets get their first win of the season.

Rookie Braelon Allen ran 20 yards for a score in the fourth quarter and the defense came up with a pair of plays late in the game to secure a 24-17 victory over the Titans. The win sends the Jets into a Thursday night game against the Patriots with a 1-1 record.

Allen’s touchdown run came with just over four minutes left in the game, and the Titans converted a pair of third downs to get the ball into Jets territory. Quarterback Will Levis escaped pressure to run for another first down, but Will McDonald got him for a sack a few plays later, and a fourth-down pass to Tyler Boyd was broken up by safety Tony Adams.

That allowed the Jets to celebrate a victory, but there’s still plenty of cleaning up to do for the AFC East club. Aaron Rodgers threw touchdowns to Allen and running back Breece Hall, but the Jets had three three-and-outs and six punts over the course of the afternoon. Rodgers hit Garrett Wilson on a big play to set up the final touchdown, and there were other good signs that the team will look to create a more consistent offense in the coming weeks.

The late stops helped Tennessee close the door, but the defense was still softer than the Jets would like and future prospects will be without edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. The 2022 first-round pick was taken away and reports indicate he tore his Achilles tendon.

Levis had a couple of turnovers in the first half, but his elusiveness and a 40-yard dart to Calvin Ridley for a touchdown provided some ballast for those mistakes. Ridley also ran for a score and the Titans totaled 300 yards, but it wasn’t enough because of the points left on the field early in the game.

With the loss, the Titans are now 0-2 on the season and next week they host the Packers in an attempt to get their first win of the year.
