From the article

Smith was very efficient in his first Jets start in almost a decade. After a quiet first half, Smith shredded Tennessee in the final two quarters to help the Jets put the game away and turn it into a laugher. Most importantly, he avoided major negative plays. The Jets' 2026 success depends in no small measure on Smith avoiding sacks and turnovers. Through one game he has done the job.

Smith efficient in Jets debut, avoided sacks and turnovers in Week 1 win.

Smith was very efficient in his first Jets start in almost a decade, shredding Tennessee in the final two quarters to help put the game away. Most importantly, he avoided major negative plays—the Jets' 2026 success depends in no small measure on Smith avoiding sacks and turnovers, and through one game he has done the job. He was not sacked and was only hit once during the game.
