The NFL schedule is shaping up to be a season full of emotional reunions, and the Tennessee Titans are at the center of it all. According to reports, newly hired Titans head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll won't have to wait long to face their former teams.
Saleh, who served as the New York Jets head coach from 2021 until his mid-2024 dismissal, is set to open the season against his old squad. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Titans will host the Jets in Week 1 at Nissan Stadium. It's a fitting start for Saleh, who will look to make an immediate statement against the team that let him go. This marks the second consecutive year the Jets open with a reunion game, having faced Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.
Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will get his turn just two weeks later. After his tenure as Giants head coach ended 10 games into the 2025 season, Daboll joined the Titans' staff. The New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy reports that Tennessee will travel to MetLife Stadium—the Jets and Giants' shared home—for a Week 3 showdown with New York's NFC squad.
For both Saleh and Daboll, these early-season matchups add an extra layer of intensity to what promises to be a pivotal year for the Titans. Whether you're gearing up for these must-watch games or just stocking up on game-day gear, this season is already delivering drama before a single snap is played.
