Coach Robert Saleh's Tennessee Titans debut ended in a 23-10 loss to his former New York Jets squad. Quarterback Cam Ward struggled with accuracy, completing 19 of 32 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. Ward missed easy throws to Tyjae Spears and Wan'Dale Robinson, plus a key opportunity to Carnell Tate.

The Titans offense managed only one touchdown in six drives, finding the end zone late via an 11-yard connection between Ward and Elic Ayomanor. Frustration mounted as fans booed during four three-and-outs. Saleh remained calm amid the criticism, vowing to watch tape and make rational decisions rather than react impulsively.

Ward acknowledged the team's disappointment but insisted the offseason training would pay off soon. The loss marks a rough start for Saleh in Nashville following a 3-14 finish last season.
