27. New York Jets (27): Rookie Kenyon Sadiq joined Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome as the only tight ends to rush for a TD in their NFL debuts. Here's hoping the NYJ have the foresight to kick Sadiq upstairs once his playing days are done.

Sunday: Beat Titans 23-10
What we learned: They’re not bottom-feeders
In recent years, the only debate regarding the Jets in rankings like these was how far down to place them. But they showed they’re a better team than the Titans, which had to feel good against former Jets coach Robert Saleh, thanks to a strong running game and an efficient afternoon from new quarterback Geno Smith.

Week 1 Result: Won vs. Tennessee 23-10
Over the last couple of years, it was easy to write off the New York Jets as one of the NFL's worst teams. A bit of role reversal occurred Sunday, when the Jets handled their business against an inferior team in the Tennessee Titans.
Specifically, quarterback Geno Smith deserves significant credit. He was the league's worst quarterback during the 2025 campaign. He played efficient football in his return to the Jets and didn't commit any turnovers, which is quite a feat unto itself after last season.
.The formula for Aaron Glenn's team to win is obvious: Play the time of possession of game thanks to a strong ground game, hope Smith doesn't revert into bad habits and let a talented defense dictate terms.

They did a lot of good things in beating the Titans. That's a good start for a team that might be better than expected.

Efficient on offense, stingy on defense. Could the Jets actually be … good? Probably not. The Titans are just that bad.

Non-QB newcomer debut: TE Kenyon Sadiq
Sadiq had only four touches (three receptions and one rush), but he scored one of the Jets' two touchdowns (on a 3-yard end-around), and his versatility enabled OC Frank Reich to use creative personnel packages. After missing most of training camp because of a hernia, the No. 16 pick was limited to 26 offensive snaps, but his role will continue to grow. Sadiq joined Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome as the only two tight ends in history to score a rushing TD in his first career game.
