Overview
- Rookie Tyler Shough went 22-for-27 for a career-best 333 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 10-yarder to Kevin Austin Jr. with 6:22 left, moving New Orleans to 6-10 with a fourth straight win.
- New Orleans flipped a 13-point deficit by outscoring Tennessee 24-6 and outgaining the hosts 331-152 after halftime, as Chase Young added a strip-sack returned 33 yards for a touchdown and finished with 1.5 sacks.
- Titans quarterback Cam Ward threw for 251 yards and two scores, but a late fourth-down toss was changed to a sack on replay and a final heave ended in a fumble under pressure from Cam Jordan.
- Chimere Dike, already a Pro Bowl return selection, surpassed Tim Brown for the most all-purpose yards by an NFL rookie, clearing the 1988 mark by halftime.
- Tennessee’s depth thinned with CB Jalyn Armour-Davis ruled out with an Achilles injury and WR Van Jefferson sidelined by a forearm issue, while Joey Slye hit four field goals and Tony Pollard’s 85 rushing yards pushed him over 1,000 for the season.
