Jets at Titans: 3 key matchups to watch in Week 1

The New York Jets open the 2024 regular season with a Week 1 trip to Tennessee to face the Titans at Nissan Stadium, led by Jets’ former head coach Robert Saleh. The matchup carries a revenge angle, since Saleh was fired after five games in 2024, and the Titans roster includes multiple former Jets players. Jets Wire highlights three key battles. First, David Bailey, selected second overall in last April’s draft, is expected to see significant action and could line up against Dan Moore Jr. or the Titans’ 2023 first-round pick JC Latham; the two combined for 15 sacks allowed last year. Second, Garrett Wilson, coming off missing nine games with a knee injury, may face cornerback Alontae Taylor, a three-year, $58 million signing from the offseason. Third, former Jets across Tennessee’s defense include Jermaine Johnson, Jacob Martin, John Franklin-Myers, Solomon Thomas and Tony Adams.
