The Tennessee Titans made their preseason debut on Friday night and grabbed a dominant 23-3 win over the Atlanta Falcons, and old friends Arthur Smith and Dean Pees at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
The story of the night was the defense, as Tennessee notched five sacks and got consistent pressure all game long. In fact, the Falcons didn’t record a single play in Titans territory during the first half.
The offense saw solid play from the two quarterbacks competing for the backup job and a few of the wide receivers stood out, but the offensive line, which didn’t feature any starters, left a lot to be desired in pass protection.
But let’s dive a bit deeper into this contest, shall we? Here’s a look at eight takeaways from Tennessee’s Preseason Week 1 victory over the Falcons.
