Titans news: Jeffery Simmons is having none of reporter's 'ragebait' after Week 1 disaster

The Tennessee Titans faced the New York Jets in their Week 1 NFL matchup, with head coach Robert Saleh making his debut. Unfortunately for the team, the Jets emerged victorious, securing a 23-10 win over the Titans. Quarterback Geno Smith contributed 254 passing yards in his Jets return to action, while the Titans' offense struggled to gain momentum.

Upon being questioned about the game by local reporter Paul Kuharsky, Titans star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons did not take kindly to the "ragebait" remark. The defensive lineman clarified that his initial comments about the team's newness still held true, as it was their first game. Simmons stressed that the team would regroup and be prepared for the upcoming Week 2 matchup.

The Titans' defense underperformed, failing to apply pressure on the Jets' quarterback, recording no sacks and only one quarterback hit. Meanwhile, the Jets' offense operated smoothly, showcasing their capabilities without significant hurdles. While this opening game did not meet Tennessee's expectations with its new coaching staff, Simmons emphasized that the team must move past this setback as quickly as possible. The Titans will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 on September 20.
