Jets vs. Titans Live Score Updates
Another week, another chance for the Jets to secure their first win of the 2021 regular season.
Coming off a 26-0 blowout loss in Denver, New York returns to their home turf, set to host the first-place Titans Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
Can Zach Wilson lead this offense and help Gang Green put some points on the board? The Jets haven't scored a touchdown in their last eight quarters, sitting at just 20 points over this entire season thus far.
It'll be key for the Jets to get going early, shaking off their propensity to start slow. New York has been outscored 46 to 3 in the first half these first three weeks of the year. If they want to have any chance of hanging around against another formidable foe, they'll have to drive the football down the field and put points on the board early.
On defense, New York has arguably their biggest challenge of the year thus far, facing running back Derrick Henry. It's tough to stop a back of his caliber, but New York has their game plan for how to contain him. The question is, will they execute.

HALFTIME: Jets 7, Titans 9

0:16: Jets 24, Titans 24
Perfect execution from the Titans. Running out of timeouts, Tennessee drove down the field to eventually tie the score with a touchdown pass to Cameron Batson from two yards out.
Wilson takes a knee and we're headed to overtime.
FINAL: Jets 27, Titans 24
The first win of the Zach Wilson and Robert Saleh era is in the books. It wasn't pretty. Wilson drove down the field in overtime, but New York needed to settle for a field goal. Then, Tennessee was poised to either tie the game or win it on a touchdown of their own. Instead, Randy Bullock missed a field goal as time expired from 49 yards out, sealing the deal for Gang Green.
