NASHVILLE — Robert Saleh’s regular-season debut leading the Tennessee Titans comes against a familiar franchise.
The New York Jets fired Saleh five games into the 2024 season, his fourth as their head coach. And while the Titans would certainly enjoy beating their new coach’s former team, starting the NFL season off with a win — regardless of the opponent — is what will matter most to everyone on the home sideline Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium.
The priorities are the same for the visiting Jets and second-year head coach Aaron Glenn.
These woeful franchises desperately want proof they’ve made the right moves during the offseason to stop the misery of too many losing records. Each went 3-14 last season.
Tennessee has strung together four straight losing seasons and hasn’t won its opener since 2020.
