Titans top Vikings in preseason Week 2: Everything we know

The Titans’ ground game dominated in the preseason Week 2 win over the Vikings.

The Tennessee Titans notched their first win of the preseason slate on Saturday night when they topped the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, 24-16.

While things didn’t go so well for the Titans’ passing attack, the ground game dominated en route to an eye-popping 281 yards (7.0 yards per carry) and two scores.

Both running backs Julius Chestnut and Tyjae Spears broke off big runs and found pay dirt, and quarterback Malik Willis showed his elite athleticism all game long.

After a lackluster showing in preseason Week 1, the Titans’ backup defense was sharp, holding the Vikings to just one touchdown on the evening and under 300 yards of total offense.

But let’s dive a bit deeper on both sides of the ball and special teams with some instant analysis of each. We’ll also go over the stars of the game, the highlights and whatever injuries were recorded from Tennessee’s first exhibition victory of 2023 on Saturday night.
