Jets Face Saleh in Season Opener | New York Jets News

0:00It's September 6th. This is New York Jets News today. AI powered updates on your team. I'm Cory with the story. The Jets are kicking off their second season under Aaron Glinn on September 13th. And it's a fresh start with a lot of new faces. They've made a ton of moves since Free Agency opened, and Glinn's definitely learned some lessons from last year. This season opened as a big one because they're facing off against their former head coach, Robert Salah, who's now leading the Titans. Salah was let go by the Jets in the middle of the 2024 season, so you know he's going to be fired up to get a win against his old team. This week, one matchup is happening at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, and it's set to be a real barn burner. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM Eastern time, and you can catch the game on CBS or listen in on Q214-3 FM. Now the real story to watch for the Jets in this game is their kicker, Blake Group. His guys been through a lot already, getting cut by the Colts just before the season. He's the latest dude trying to nail down the kicking job for the Jets, and he was picked

1:03up off waivers. Group's got a bit of a mixed bag in his past. With the Saints, he was pretty automatic on extra points, but his field goal percentage wasn't always the best. He did finish strong with the Colts, but then struggled in the preseason. He'll need to prove himself, especially since the Jets have Jason Sanders on the practice squad. So all eyes will be on Group to see if he can handle the pressure and perform well in an outdoor stadium like Nissan Stadium. It's a big game for him and for the whole Jets team as they try to start the season off right against a familiar opponent.
