The Tennessee Titans (1-2) left TIAA Bank Stadium with their second consecutive loss of the season in their last game – a sloppy, 20-7 finish against the division rival Jacksonville Jaguars.
his week, they will look to even out their overall record on the road as they take on an equally struggling Atlanta Falcons team (1-2) in Mercedes-Benz Stadium at noon on Sunday.
Here are three Titans to turn your attention to in the upcoming contest.
1. RB Derrick Henry
The Titans haven’t utilized Henry the way they should, but he’s been effective when they have. This season, he totals 51 carries for 210 yards and accounts for four of the seven touchdowns the Titans have put on the board in 2019. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate him into the game plan this week.
2. QB Marcus Mariota
This is the fourth game of Mariota’s “prove it” year, and he hasn’t exactly looked the best up to this point. Mariota has looked inaccurate, hasn’t shown good decision-making and has just looked lost overall. He needs to make things right, and quickly, to secure not only his own future with the the team, but to give the Titans offense any hope of moving the chains this year.
3. WR A.J. Brown
Brown has shown some significant flashes this season, and impressed ahead of it as well. The only issue is that Mariota has failed to get the ball to him enough. He’s got seven receptions on 14 targets so far this year for 129 yards, and has yet to record his first touchdown of the regular season. The Falcons defense may force Mariota into situations where he has to throw the ball, and Brown is a good player to target.
