The New York Jets suffered a 32-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in their season opener, but head coach Robert Saleh expressed a positive outlook compared to last year's 1-0 start, which followed Aaron Rodgers' season-ending injury. Despite the defeat, Rodgers, who played his first game in 20 months, showed promise with 167 passing yards and a touchdown, though he acknowledged the offense's rough patches. Saleh emphasized confidence in the team's ability to improve, particularly addressing the defense's unexpected struggles, which allowed eight consecutive scoring drives. The Jets are set to face the Tennessee Titans next, and Saleh is determined to rectify the defensive issues. Meanwhile, wide receiver Garrett Wilson candidly assessed the loss, stating, 'They whupped our ass.' Overall, the team remains optimistic about their potential as they navigate the early season.
