The Tennessee Titans have completed their second preseason game of the year after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 13-3.
It was a sloppy game that displayed a lot of ups and downs, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Titans rookie quarterback Malik Willis once again got the start and he seems destined to become the team’s No. 2 quarterback barring something drastic happening.
After consistently showing improvements throughout camp, head coach Mike Vrabel said the team is officially placing a primary focus on giving Willis as many reps as possible, and that was clearly evident today.
The talented young quarterback played into the third quarter where he ended the night completing 7-of-17 passes for 80 yards and one touchdown (75.6 passer rating).
The electric rookie also carried the ball five times for 42 yards (8.4 YPC), and he was also sacked three times on the day but evaded multiple others.
Now that the game is officially in the books, let’s take a closer look beyond the numbers at how the Titans’ dynamic rookie quarterback fared in his second start of the preseason.
