Titans’ Opening Loss and the Path Forward | Tennessee Titans News

The Tennessee Titans’ 2026 opener ended in a 23-10 loss to the Jets, mirroring past struggles with offensive stagnation, defensive lapses, and special teams misfires. Outgained by over 170 yards and losing time of possession, the offense couldn’t generate explosive plays, while punting was among the worst in the league. Despite the defeat, players like Cam Ward, Jeffery Simmons, and Peter Skoronski argue this team has more ownership and potential than before. Yet fans booted them off the field in the second half, frustrated by conservative play-calling, missed throws, and poor execution. With a dismal record since Malik Willis took over in 2022—and now under new head coach Robert Saleh—the Titans face an uphill climb to rebuild trust. Still, leaders urge patience, calling it a season of growth amid growing pains, hoping this early stumble doesn’t define their future.
