New York Jets 24, Tennessee Titans 17

On both offense and defense, it was not pretty for the Jets (1-1) throughout the contest in Tennessee (0-2). The difference were a few big plays which led to the 24-17 final.

The Jets had plenty of penalty problems, particularly in the first half. On both sides of the ball, New York paid the price for those. At least in one department, the Jets were clearly better against the Titans: Takeaways.

Offensively, the Jets seem to have already figured out how to utilize running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen on offense. Hall (14 carries for 62 yards, seven catches for 52 yards and a touchdown) remains the lead back but the rookie Allen (seven carries for 33 yards,  two catches for 23 yards and a touchdown) is already solidly in the mix behind him. The two combined for 95 yards on 21 carries as the Jets were able to find success on the ground.

Aaron Rodgers completed 18-of-30 throwing for 176 yards and two touchdowns.

Giants Fall To Commanders, 21-18

Jayden Daniels got the wind knocked out of him, missed a snap and came back like nothing went wrong. He led the Washington Commanders down the field over and over without a touchdown to show for it and made sure they still put points on the board.

When it mattered most, Daniels got the job done and picked up his first win as an NFL quarterback, beating the New York Giants 21-18 on Sunday thanks to a franchise-record seven field goals from new kicker Austin Seibert.

Daniels engineered the go-ahead, 65-yard drive in the final minutes to get the ball into the red zone, setting up Seibert’s 30-yard field goal that won it as the clock expired. Seibert’s 7-for-7 performance came days after he replaced Cade York, who missed each of his two attempts in the season opener.

The Commanders (1-1) came back to win an ugly game after the Giants lost kicker Graham Gano to an injury on the opening kickoff. Not having Gano forced New York (0-2) to go for it on several fourth-down situations after punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point attempt early.

Giants QB Daniel Jones, who after a rough Week 1 went a respectable 16 of 28 for 178 yards and two touchdown passes.
