Overview
- The Titans lost 24-20 to the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving Tennessee 0-2 after a drive that included two key third‑down conversions by Philly and a game-winning score late in the fourth quarter.
- Tennessee had first‑and‑goal at the Eagles’ 9 but settled for a 33‑yard field goal after a sack and two short runs, a decision sequence head coach Robert Saleh called a “toss‑up.”
- The defense struggled on critical downs, allowing the Eagles to convert 61.1 percent of third‑down attempts for the game and failing to get off the field on the decisive drive.
- Individual bright spots included Cam Ward’s rebound as an efficient passer and two rushing TDs and Jeffery Simmons’ disruptive day with multiple pressures and a sack.
- Pro Football Focus rated special‑teamer Julius Chestnut the top Titans performer on special teams, Cor’Dale Flott was inactive with quadriceps tightness but expected to practice soon, and the loss intensifies pressure ahead of a difficult upcoming road stretch.
