Titans Seek Home Redemption Against Former Coach Vrabel
The Tennessee Titans will host the New England Patriots this Sunday, looking to snap a five-game losing streak and pick up their second win of the season. The Titans enter the game as 7-point home underdogs against a Patriots team led by former Tennessee head coach Mike Vrabel.
The Titans' season has been a disappointment so far, with a 1-5 record that led to the dismissal of head coach Brian Callahan earlier this week. Interim coach Mike McCoy takes over a team searching for answers, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Maye, Simmons Provide Bright Spots for Tennessee
One of the few bright spots for the Titans has been the play of rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who has impressed with his poise and decision-making. Maye leads the NFL in passer rating on deep balls and will look to challenge a Patriots defense that has been vulnerable at times.
Defensively, the Titans have been led by the dominant play of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who ranks among the league leaders in sacks, tackles for loss, and QB hits. The return of nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat should bolster the interior of the Titans' defensive line against the Patriots' rushing attack.
TL;DR
- Titans host Patriots in Week 7, looking to snap 5-game losing streak
- Interim coach Mike McCoy takes over for fired Brian Callahan
- Rookie QB Drake Maye and DT Jeffery Simmons provide bright spots for Tennessee
- Patriots led by former Titans coach Mike Vrabel, enter as 7-point favorites
