4 key matchups for Titans vs. Falcons in Week 8

Shaun Calderon takes a look at the key matchups for Titans-Falcons.

The Tennessee Titans are a little more than 24 hours away from hosting the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons in a Week 8 showdown.

Coming off a bye, Tennessee is now stepping back on the football field without one of the greatest players and leaders in franchise history. The decision to trade Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles creates another question mark for a team that is full of them at the moment.

Despite the move, Tennessee has a chance to get back on track against a formidable opponent that has a lot of familiar faces on the roster.

A win would get the Titans back to within one game of a .500 record, while another loss would likely put an end to any realistic chance of turning their season around.

Sunday’s contest has a ton of matchups that will play a big part in helping to determine the outcome of the game. Let’s not waste anymore time and find out which four specific matchups we’ll be keeping our eyes on come Sunday.
