The offensive play displayed by the Tennessee Titans was nothing short of balanced and effective. Quarterback Malik Willis delivered an exceptional performance that saw him achieve a quarterback rating of 156.3. Completing three out of four passes for 51 yards and notching two touchdowns under his belt, Willis demonstrated his capability in executing long-range plays with one touchdown pass covering 34 yards.


Jabari Small's contribution as running back was instrumental in propelling the Titans' offense forward. With ten carries resulting in 64 yards, Small's speed and agility were key factors in penetrating the Saints' defensive line. Tony Pollard also made noteworthy contributions by rushing for 17 yards on five attempts and crossing into the end zone once.

Shane Ray’s performance stood out as he recorded one sack and forced a fumble, applying consistent pressure on the Saints’ offense throughout the match. James Williams led defensively with six combined tackles (including five solo tackles), effectively thwarting numerous attempts by their opponents to advance.


Special teams were integral to this tightly contested match; kicker Brayden Narveson successfully converted two field goals adding six crucial points to their tally which proved decisive in securing victory.
