The Tennessee Titans wrapped up their NFL preseason with a game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Titans offensive coordinator Brian Callahan announced earlier this week that starters would play multiple series, providing an opportunity for Will Levis and the offense to fine-tune their skills ahead of the regular season. In contrast, the Saints are not expected to showcase their starters, according to various reports.
With the regular season opener in Chicago just two weeks away and roster cuts scheduled for Tuesday, this game presented a crucial opportunity for players on the roster bubble to make their final impressions.
In a closely contested game, the Titans emerged victorious with a final score of 30-27, capping off a perfect 3-0 preseason—their first unbeaten preseason since 2003. Will Levis performed well, completing 7 of 8 passes for 118 yards and leading two scoring drives.
The Titans took the lead with a touchdown pass from Malik Willis to Bryce Oliver, who secured his second touchdown catch of the game. The game saw several notable performances, including Ryan Stonehouse’s preseason debut, where he executed a 53-yard punt and placed one inside the 10-yard line.
The Titans faced some challenges, such as a fumble from Jabari Small early in the second half, which fortunately resulted in only three points for the Saints. The Titans defense held strong throughout the game, culminating in a final defensive stop that sealed their victory.
As the teams gear up for the transition from preseason to the regular season, the Titans will focus on finalizing their 53-man roster ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
