The Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints will do battle at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday to start their respective 2023 campaigns.
Both teams are coming off a disappointing season in which they missed the playoffs with a 7-10 record, but the Titans and Saints have made some significant changes to give themselves hope for 2023.
In New Orleans, the Saints are sporting a new quarterback in Derek Carr, who is no doubt an upgrade over the likes of Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston, both of whom struggled mightily last season.
Meanwhile, the Titans have completely revamped their offensive line after a dreadful showing in pass protection last year. In addition, Tennessee beefed up its receiving corps. with the signing of wideout DeAndre Hopkins.
The underdog Titans have plenty of reasons for optimism going into their Week 1 game against the Saints, but reasons for concern exist, as well.
Let’s take a closer look.
