In the New York Jets’ 2026 home opener, on a dreary, cool and rainy day in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Jets fell to the Green Bay Packers, 20 – 17.

The New York Jets thought they were headed to their first 2-0 record since the 2015 season.

But head coach Aaron Glenn’s team couldn’t hold on to a second-half lead Sunday afternoon and lost a heartbreaker to the Green Bay Packers in overtime.

Geno Smith was sacked on the first two plays of overtime, and the Jets had to punt on their first possession. It allowed the Packers to march down the field and win it with a 26-yard field goal.

The devastating loss brought the Jets’ record to 1-1. Now the Jets have to put the loss behind them and get ready for a difficult challenge as they prepare to go on the road to face the Detroit Lions next Sunday.

The New York Yankees officially clinched a 2026 MLB postseason berth on Monday night with an 8-3 comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins.

“You start back in February and the goal is to go play in October and go win a championship,” manager Aaron Boone said during an on-field interview with the YES Network. 

The Yankees’ third consecutive postseason berth and ninth in 10 years since Aaron Judge’s rookie season in 2017 became official in the eighth inning when the Tigers finished off a 6-5 win over the Jays.

After handshakes on the field, the Yankees excitedly headed to the visiting clubhouse to whoop it up by soaking everyone with champagne and beer.

“I feel like we’re in a good place, but we’ve got to keep playing well,” Boone said. We’ve just got to continue to take care of our business.”

The New York Jets scored a touchdown on their opening drive of the game and never trailed en route to a 23-10 road win over the Tennessee Titans. 

Geno Smith waited 3,612 days for another start in a Jets uniform. He made it worth the wait.

Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards, providing the steady  hand the Jets (1-0) envisioned in a dominant 23-10 season-opening victory over the Tennessee Titans (0-1) at Nissan Stadium.

After a cautious first half in which Smith passed for just 90 yards, the Jets opened up the passing game after halftime. That helped set up a Breece Hall touchdown run.

Smith, who led the NFL in interceptions last season, was decisive and careful with the football. The Jets’ offensive line also gave him enough time in the pocket to find open receivers.

Hall was another catalyst for the Jets’ offense, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. He looked very much like the player who recorded his first 1,000-yard season last year. The Jets finished with 152 rushing yards against the Titans.
