The Tennessee Titans will open their season on Sunday afternoon when they take on the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome, with kickoff set for noon CT.
The Titans are coming off a disappointing season that saw them finish 7-10 and miss the playoffs for the first time in three years after losing their last seven contests.
