Jets 24, Titans 17

Mark Sanchez played a solid game and the New York Jets are now 3-0, while the Tennessee Titans are 0-3.

With the win, Sanchez becomes the first rookie in NFL history to start and win his first three games. Many questioned how effective Sanchez would be in his rookie season considering he started just 16 games at USC, but he's quickly erasing all doubts. Sanchez went 17-of-30 for 171 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown, making his day that much more impressive. His performance wasn't perfect, though, as he turned the ball over twice (one interception, one fumble). Sanchez's favorite receiver has become Jerricho Cotchery, who had eight receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown.

While the play of Sanchez was particularly impressive, it was the Jets stout defense that once again put the team in the win column. Coach Rex Ryan has transformed this defense into a force to be reckoned with, and offensive coordinators are undoubtedly taking notice. Linebacker David Harris was turning into a star before Ryan arrived, but he may become a superstar soon enough. Though the Titans were able to run the ball more effectively than expected, the Jets secondary was able to step up, picking Kerry Collins off twice.

It may officially time to panic in Nashville, as the Titans have struggled to close out games this season. In all three games thus far, the Titans had a chance to win late. Their failure to do so is alarming, and it is something that must be corrected quickly should Tennessee have any chance at making the playoffs this season. Offensively, the Titans have improved from last season. Chris Johnson is an even more complete running back, and the Titans now have a better receiver corps. Whether Collins can play like he did last season is a question that needs to be answered in the coming weeks. It is going to be an uphill climb, but the Titans are a talented football team and still have a chance to compete.
