Jets aim for 2-0 start against Packers in home opener
Summary

The New York Jets host the Green Bay Packers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, looking to secure a 2-0 start for the first time since 2015. After defeating the Tennessee Titans in their season opener, the Jets have a chance to overcome a decade-long jinx against the Packers. Historical context reveals that starting 2-0 has only occurred 11 times in franchise history, with limited playoff success following those beginnings. A win would provide the Jets with confidence as they navigate the early portion of the season, aiming to build momentum against Green Bay.
