Football is back and punters were treated to a proper tussle at Nissan Stadium as the New York Jets rolled into town for Week 1. The market had the Tennessee Titans installed as home favourites at 1.74 in the head-to-head, while the visiting Jets sat at 2.1 to cause a bit of early-season grief for the locals.
When all was said and done on Mon 14 Sept, 3:00 am AEST, it was the travelling side that put on a defensive masterclass. The final score read Tennessee Titans 10–23 New York Jets, leaving the home side's supporters scratching their heads and handing the travelling faithful plenty of reasons to smile.
How the match played out
The Titans came into this fixture trying to steady the ship after a mixed run of form that included a recent loss against the Cincinnati Bengals, where they leaked 43 points. Their scoring over the previous five outings had sat at an average of 21.4 points, but they simply could not get their motor running against a resolute New York defensive unit.
For the Jets, this victory adds a neat win to their ledger, improving their early season standing. Despite coming off a recent 33–38 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in their previous outing where they showed plenty of attacking flair, they turned the screw on the defensive end here, restricting the Titans to just 10 points for the entire match.
