00:00Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets finally get a victory. When Aaron starts and completes

00:09a full game, there's only really been two instances of that. But yesterday on the road

00:14in Nashville, the Jets win and cover as a three and a half point road favorite against the Titans,

00:1924 to 17. Total of 42 and a half does barely stay under. The first win for New York with Aaron

00:26Rodgers at the quarterback spot for a full game. But it wasn't the 40-year-old vet who used to

00:33play his football in Wisconsin. It was the 20-year-old rookie running back, Braylon Allen,

00:39who also used to play his football in Wisconsin. Two touchdowns, including the game-winning 20-yard

00:45touchdown under five minutes remaining in regulation. 20 years and 239 days old,

00:52Braylon Allen, the youngest ever player to score two scrimmage touchdowns in the history of the

00:58National Football League in the same game. And I don't know if it's just because he's young,

01:04but Will Levis's decision-making is as bad as you will see. Surrender Cobra for a second

01:11consecutive week on the field. Donnie, it's the main reason I had faith in New York winning and

01:16covering on the road. And frankly, it was much closer than I expected it even to be. It's because

01:22of Will Levis, who does not look the ilk of a starting quarterback, at least decision-making-wise

01:28in the NFL. And he's got a good defense. If you just rely on that defense here and just go back

01:33to the Stone Age on offense, they'd probably even win this football game, let alone winning in week

01:37number one against the Chicago Bears. And sooner than later, there's going to be a Tennessee Titans

01:41fan that's going to pop up on the internet. Maybe it happened already, where they're going to get a

01:44Surrender Cobra tattoo on the back of their calf. You know that's coming, because that's

01:48Will Levis's theme. When you think of Will Levis, you think of that position with him. Now, if we're

01:53looking overall at this game, this was a tough spot for the Jets. You played Monday night football

01:57on the West Coast against a physical 49ers team and got your brains beat in. You fly back, then

02:02you got to go play on the road against another team with a very good defense. And they struggled

02:06early in this game. Tennessee goes up 7-0, like, oh no, here you go. The New York Jets made a solid

02:10second half, and Aaron Rodgers did what he needed to do. 18 of 30, 176, wasn't spectacular. Two

02:15touchdown passes, no interceptions, pass the writing of around 100. But that's all you need

02:19to beat the Will Levis Titans. You got some good running back action from Breece Hall and Allen,

02:23as you said. One touch on the ground from Allen, but they both caught touchdown passes here, which

02:27I do think is going to be a big part of this offense. So you sort of calm the waters in New

02:31York, right? You're one and one. And if any Jets fan was looking optimistically at this season,

02:35and you told them they'd be one and one after those two first games, you probably would take

02:39it at that point. They're right on schedule here. They got to get a little bit more explosive on

02:43offense. But after that poor performance on Monday night to bounce back on the road

02:47with a win and a cover, I thought that was pretty big.
