Raiders Snap Skid With Defense-Driven Win Over Titans

Analysts see limited proof of progress ahead of a tougher trip to Arrowhead.

Overview

  • Las Vegas beat Tennessee 20-10 to move to 2-4, halting a four-game losing streak.
  • The defense led the way with a reported six sacks and three takeaways, holding the Titans to 225 total yards.
  • Tennessee fired head coach Brian Callahan the day after the loss, and an anonymous Raiders coach was quoted by The Athletic with a scathing assessment of the Titans.
  • Offensive concerns lingered as Geno Smith threw a late interception after a nullified fumble, with tight end Brock Bowers still out due to a knee issue.
  • Post-Week 6 power rankings nudged the Raiders up only a few spots, and the Week 7 visit to the Chiefs is widely viewed as a far tougher barometer.
