What This Means For The Tennessee Titans

This is huge for Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans. DeAndre Hopkins has, in all truth, been the Titans’ only reliable weapon this season, posting 504 yards in the first half of the season, over double the next-highest receiving target (Nick Westbrook-Ikhine). Despite having been overlooked as a top receiver for the past few months, Hopkins has shown that he is still one of the top wideouts in the league when paired with a competent quarterback who is able to throw and not be constantly under duress.

Issues For Tonight?

Sadly for DeAndre Hopkins and his new QB1, Levis, the Titans’ patchy offensive line goes up against T.J. Watt and a mighty Steelers defensive line (one who is, albeit 30th in total defense). How well Levis is able to get the ball out on time whilst facing pressure from Watt will undoubtedly determine the fate of the Tennesee Titans tonight.

For a 37-point total game, I am surprisingly excited for this matchup!
