It’s a battle of two teams with Super Bowl aspirations on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, with the Tennessee Titans traveling to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. The anticipation surrounding this game has taken somewhat of a hit with Derrick Henry suffering a foot injury that could sideline him for the rest of the season.
Even with Henry sidelined, the Titans do have a talented offense that features A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. The offense of the Rams needs no introduction as Matthew Stafford is an MVP candidate, Cooper Kupp is having a historic campaign, and Darrell Henderson is performing well as the workhorse in the backfield.
The big news to come out of Los Angeles this week was the acquisition of Von Miller from the Denver Broncos. In Tennessee’s first game sans Henry since Week 16 of the 2019 season, they’ll be the first team tasked with facing a defense that deploys Miller, Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, and Leonard Floyd together.
There’s no surprise that Los Angeles is favorited at home, favored by more than a touchdown at most sportsbooks. Ahead of what should be an intriguing game between the 6-2 Titans and the 7-1 Rams, here are four players to watch during Sunday night’s anticipated matchup.
