Braelon Allen scored two touchdowns Sunday, including the go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter, as the visiting New York Jets rallied in the second half to defeat the Tennessee Titans 24-17 in Nashville, Tenn.
Allen snapped a tie with 4:31 left when he roared 20 yards off right tackle to cap a 74-yard drive. Aaron Rodgers hit Mike Williams on second-and-16 for a 19-yard gain to the Tennessee 26 two plays before Allen scored the game-winner.
Rodgers shrugged off a slow start to complete 18 of 30 passes for 176 yards with two touchdowns for New York (1-1). Breece Hall added 62 yards on 14 rushes.
The Titans (0-2) had a chance to tie the score in the last minute when Will Levis avoided a sack and scrambled 13 yards to the 10-yard line to set up first-and-goal. But a third-down sack by Will McDonald IV forced a fourth-and-goal play from the 14, and Levis' pass for Tyler Boyd was bobbled around the 3-yard line and fell incomplete.
Levis finished 19-of-28 for 192 yards with a touchdown -- a 40-yard strike to a diving Calvin Ridley with 3:22 left in the third quarter -- and an interception. Ridley scored both Tennessee touchdowns.
Tennessee initiated scoring at the 2:30 mark of the first quarter when Ridley took a reverse 10 yards, capping a 68-yard drive that chewed up more than 6 1/2 minutes.
The Titans crafted another good-looking drive after that but it ended when Levis tried to lateral the ball to Tony Pollard to avoid a sack and instead fumbled to Quincy Williams at the 12, costing them a possible field goal opportunity.
Levis then started the next possession by tossing an interception to Brandin Echols.
The Jets finally got something going after the second turnover, driving 73 yards in 12 plays and scoring with 1:47 left in the half on Rodgers' 12-yard pass to Allen. But Tennessee responded with a 41-yard field goal from Nick Folk as time expired, giving it a 10-7 edge at halftime.
