Tennessee Titans vs. Minnesota Vikings Analysis
The 2023 season for the Tennessee Titans could come down to their quarterback play. While it may sound obvious, they need either Ryan Tannehill or Malik Willis to step up and play huge, or they could be in big trouble. Sure, the Titans have Derrick Henry in the backfield and have added DeAndre Hopkins, but if the signal callers cannot get them to ball in the right spots, they will struggle.
In the preseason opener, the Titans saw Chicago score two early touchdowns. The Titans’ offense struggled to move the ball in the second half, not scoring a single point. Willis got the offense going with an early touchdown run, and Hassan Haskins did the same in the second quarter of the game.
Tennessee finished the game with 246 passes yards, as Will Levis was second under center. The Titans were sacked eight times by the Bears. The run game in the preseason went to Julius Chestnut, Tyjae Spears, and Hassan Haskins. Those three combined for 19 carries, 90 yards, and a score.
Tennessee opens the regular season on the road at New Orleans.
For the Minnesota Vikings, there is a lot of talk about how they should not be favorites in the NFC North. The Vikings were not only the winners of the division but did it with relative ease a season ago. Sure, Minnesota lost Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen, but this NFL team is still stacked with talent.
Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson are going to be two of the toughest men in the league to defend, while rookie Jordan Addison looks to bust onto the scene in 2023. In the preseason loss, the Vikings saw Jalen Reagor anchor the receiving core with 4 receptions and 55 yards. The lone touchdown via the pass was to Nick Muse.
The Minnesota Vikings schedule sees them open the 2023 season on the road. They will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before a Week 2 visit to Philadelphia.
