The New York Jets put forth a dominant defensive performance in their Week 1 blowout victory. The team limited the Tennessee Titans to 10 points and under 200 yards of offense.
The challenge will be significantly bigger versus Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
Jets Wire identified three Jets defenders who are potential X-factors versus the Packers in Week 2.
David Bailey, EDGE
Rookie pass rusher David Bailey was credited with his first career sack in Week 1. Truthfully, he simply pushed Titans quarterback Cam Ward out of bounds slightly behind the line of scrimmage. Bailey applied constant pressure, and he'll get a struggling Packers offensive line in Week 2.
T'Vondre Sweat, NT
The Jets saw T'Vondre Sweat's impact on their defensive line immediately. He collapsed the pocket
and played a space-eating role up the middle. Sweat made plays as a run stopper and pass rusher. The Packers' interior better be prepared for a fight in the trenches.
Andre Cisco, S
Veteran Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick exited the Titans game with an injury and is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks. Andre Cisco replaced Fitzpatrick and is in line to get the start in Week 2. He'll have to play well enough to avoid being exposed by Love and a strong Packers passing attack.
