The Tennessee Titans (7-2) host the New Orleans Saints (5-3) in a crucial interconference game. Both teams have legitimate playoff aspirations and are equally facing a ton of adversity at the moment.
Both teams are going to have to overcome high-profile injuries if they’re going to leave Sunday with a win.
The Saints will be without their top quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and left tackle on offense. The Titans, on the other hand, will be without two of their cogs on offense in Derrick Henry and Julio Jones.
Fortunately for the Titans, they have set themselves up in a great position with some room for error should anything go wrong. Tennessee is entering this weekend as the No. 1 seed in the AFC and will be leaving this weekend as the No. 1 seed regardless of what happens around the league.
Tennessee also has the chance to start creating separation from the rest of the conference with a win as they have their eyes set on that coveted first-round bye.
The following keys to victory will help ensure that Tennessee leaves Nissan Stadium with an 8-2 record.
