LAST WEEK AGAINST THE JETS
The Titans played their home opener last week against the New York Jets. In a contest that included four lead changes, the Jets scored what would be the game- winning touchdown with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. On the Titans' final possession, they moved the ball as far as New York's eight-yard line, but the Jets forced a turnover on downs to close out their 24-17 victory.
Quarterback Will Levis, in his 11th career start, completed 19 of 28 passes for 192 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Calvin Ridley. Levis added a career-high 38 rushing yards.
Ridley, who signed in Tennessee during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, totaled a team-high 77 receiving yards on four catches. He also opened the scoring with a 10-yard run for his first career rushing touchdown.
On defense, the Titans were led by outside linebacker Harold Landry III, who was credited with two sacks and two passes defensed. He became the first Titans player to reach each of those numbers in a game since defensive end Carlos Hall did so against Philadelphia on Sept. 8, 2002. Landry is also the first Titans player since Derrick Morgan in 2015 to accumulate three or more sacks through the first two games of a season.
THE PACKERS
The Packers hosted the Indianapolis Colts last week and won 16-10 after totaling 261 rushing yards on 53 carries. Running back Josh Jacobs led the way with 151 yards on 32 rushing attempts.
Former Titans quarterback Malik Willis, who was traded to Green Bay on Aug. 27, started for the Packers against the Colts in place of Jordan Love. Love, a first-round pick in 2019, is in his second season as the club's full-time starter. He exited the season opener against Philadelphia with a knee injury.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was hired to his current post in 2019 after spending the 2018 season with the Titans as the club's offensive coordinator. In his first five seasons at his current post, LaFleur guided Green Bay to four playoff appearances and three NFC North titles. Green Bay's 56 regular-season wins tied LaFleur for the second most in NFL history by a coach in his first five seasons.
Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker spent 13 years with the Packers before joining the Titans in 2023. His time in Green Bay included a variety of roles as a talent evaluator and strategic counselor to Packers leadership.
