The Tennessee Titans pulled off one of the most improbable wins of the season after they beat the Miami Dolphins, 28-27 — and it was one of the most improbable wins in NFL history to boot.
Coming into the game, I’d be lying if I said any fans believed the team would win. The Dolphins were 14-point favorites, undefeated at home, and had an offense that was averaging 32 points per game.
However, the Titans proved everyone wrong and showed what this team is capable of when it’s on it’s “A” game and was the type of performance fans had been dying to see all year long.
Rookie quarterback Will Levis and star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins were awesome, and the defense complemented them by suffocating an explosive Dolphins offense for four quarters.
Even after some miscues that would normally sink them, the Titans brushed it off and still found a way to come out on top.
Since 2016, teams lost 767 straight games when down 14 points in the final three minutes. That changed on Monday thanks to the Titans’ efforts on both sides of the ball.
While this win probably won’t save their season, it should do wonders for the confidence of Levis, and for the morale of the team as a whole. It also ended Tennessee’s miserable streak of not winning a game away from Nissan Stadium that dated back to November 2022.
This article is going to discuss a couple of narratives floating surrounding Levis’ development, the outstanding defensive showing, and next year’s draft.
Without further adieu, let’s dive right into this week’s truths and overreactions.
