Tennessee vs Los Angeles Stats

Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans ended their three-game losing streak by defeating the New England Patriots 20-17 in overtime. Rudolph threw for 240 yards in his third consecutive start, with Tony Pollard recording 154 total yards from scrimmage, the second-best game of his career. Amani Hooker's second interception sealed the victory for the Titans with just over two minutes remaining in overtime. The team's defense, which leads the NFL in fewest yards allowed and passing yards, contributed four sacks and three turnovers, one of which resulted in a touchdown. Will Levis, who has missed the last three games due to injury, participated fully in practice on Thursday and is expected to start on Sunday. Despite their recent struggles, the Titans are ranked 28th in offense, 30th in defense, and have a record of 2-6 this season.

Los Angeles Chargers Analysis

The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Cleveland Browns with a score of 27-10, capitalizing on defensive breakdowns to secure two touchdown passes from Justin Herbert. Herbert passed for 250 yards in the first half, leading the team to a 17-point halftime lead and their fifth consecutive win. The Chargers' defense, which had been allowing a league-low 13 points per game, intercepted Jamies Winston three times and prevented the Browns from gaining momentum. Herbert connected with Quentin Johnston for a 66-yard TD pass and Joshua Palmer for a 27-yard touchdown, exploiting the Browns' communication issues. Despite being sacked six times, Herbert emphasized the importance of everyone being on the same page for their success on offense. The Chargers rank eighth in total defense and against the run, showing improvement from last season but have been giving up more yards on the ground in recent games. The team has a power ranking of 8, with a strong defense but a lower-ranked offense. In their last three matchups against the Tennessee Titans, the Chargers have won two out of three games. Los Angeles currently holds a record of 5-3 and is 5-2-1 against the spread.

Titans vs. Chargers: Defensive Showdown Expected in Sunday's Game

The upcoming game this Sunday will showcase two of the most formidable defensive units in the NFL. Will Levis is set to return as the Titans' starting quarterback after recovering from an AC joint injury. Tennessee has demonstrated strong defensive performances with four sacks in each of the last two games, thanks in part to the impressive four sacks by outside linebacker Arden Key in the past three weeks. Going up against the Chargers, who have the fourth-highest quarterback pressure rate of 39.7% in the league, the Titans will face a challenging offensive line. Justin Herbert, of the Chargers, faced a career-high six sacks in their recent 27-10 victory over Cleveland. It is anticipated that this game will be a defensive battle, with both quarterbacks expected to have limited scoring opportunities. Despite this, the Chargers are predicted to secure a victory in a defensive-oriented matchup, although the Titans are favored to beat the spread.
