Geno Smith shines in Jets preseason debut, leads scoring drive

Geno Smith made his preseason debut for the New York Jets on August 21, 2026, in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He completed all seven of his passes for 65 yards, culminating in a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jelani Woods. This performance follows Smith's struggles over the past few seasons, including a difficult run with the Raiders. Coach Aaron Glenn expressed satisfaction with Smith's execution on the one drive as the Jets prepare for the regular season. While this game showcased the team's offensive potential, it remains uncertain if they can replicate this success in the regular season.
