Weekend Mailbag: Jim Wyatt Answers Questions From Titans Fans Ahead of Sunday's Game vs the Lions
Titans Get Ready for the Detroit Lions
Following two straight wins, the Tennessee Titans will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
The Titans are currently 3-2 on the season, while the Lions are 1-4.
Here are some questions from Titans fans ahead of the game:
Will the Titans be able to contain Lions running back D'Andre Swift?
Swift is one of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL. He is averaging 5.6 yards per carry this season and has scored four touchdowns.
The Titans will need to be disciplined in their tackling and assignment. If they can keep Swift under control, it will go a long way towards helping them win the game.
How will the Titans offense respond to the Lions' pass rush?
The Lions have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. They have recorded 15 sacks this season, which is tied for the fourth-most in the league.
The Titans will need to protect quarterback Ryan Tannehill and give him time to throw the football. They will also need to find ways to get open against the Lions' talented pass rushers.
What are the key matchups to watch in this game?
There are several key matchups to watch in this game, including:
- Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown vs. Lions cornerback Amani Oruwariye
- Titans running back Derrick Henry vs. Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone
- Titans pass rusher Harold Landry vs. Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker
The outcome of these matchups could have a major impact on the outcome of the game.
Prediction
The Titans are a better team than the Lions, but the Lions are playing with nothing to lose. This could be a trap game for the Titans, so they will need to be focused and ready to play.
I predict that the Titans will win the game, but it will be a close one. I think the Titans will win by a score of 24-20.
Make sure you tune on Sunday at Nissan Stadium to cheer on your favorite team. Let's go Titans!
