Titans Narrowly Outscored at Nissan Stadium by Visiting Giants
The Tennessee Titans, with a season record of 7-10, faced off against the New York Giants, who came into the game with a 9-7-1 record. In a closely contested match at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the final score read 21-20 in favor of the visiting team.
The Titans' offense managed to accumulate a total of 359 yards throughout the game. The passing game was particularly effective, with quarterback play resulting in an impressive passer rating of 106.4 and two touchdowns. The aerial attack accounted for 266 yards including a longest completion of 31 yards and an average gain per pass play standing at nearly eight yards.
On defense, the Titans were formidable as well; they recorded five sacks for a loss of 32 yards and forced three turnovers during the contest – intercepting one pass and recovering one fumble while forcing another two fumbles. The defensive line also made its presence felt beyond sacks by registering six tackles for loss totaling negative 25 yards.
Special teams contributed significantly to field position battles as well; punters averaged almost five seconds hang time on their kicks which resulted in three punts landing inside the opponent's twenty-yard line out of six attempts. Field goal kickers had mixed results but managed to convert two out of three attempts with their longest successful kick from forty-six yards out.
Despite these efforts, penalties proved costly for Tennessee; seven infractions set them back fifty yards over the course of play. Additionally, while they reached red zone territory on three occasions converting two-thirds into scores, their third-down efficiency was low at just over twenty-seven percent success rate on eleven tries.
