Titans Bounce Back Beat Eagles, Move to 2-2 on the Season 
Posted on September 20, 2018 at 01:27 PM.
The Titans got a much needed win at home in an unexpected way over the reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles this week in Nashville. The win was critical to keep the Titans in good early season position at a record of 2-2. After a road win to open the year in Miami, the team would drop two straight against division rivals Houston and Jacksonville. Returning home and taking care of business against the Eagles was a nice lift to finish out the first quarter of the season.

The defense forced an early turnover on Carson Wentz, which actually would knock him out of the game as well with a dislocated ankle unfortunately. Mariota would capitalize with a quick strike TD pass to Tajae Sharpe. This was a great sign as Sharpe has been asked to step up in the wake of Corey Davis and Rishard Matthews both currently sidelined with injury.

Ryan Succop added a season high four Field Goals and Kevin Byard sealed the win in the 2nd half with a Pick Six for a Touchdown. Byard was actually the star of the game with 2 INT and 5 tackles and a TD backing up his Pro Bowl season from a year ago.

In addition to these performances the Defense forced a total of 5 Turnovers as Nick Foles really struggled in relief duty of Wentz and the Eagles were knocked out of their gameplan. Derrick Henry grinded out another 100 yard performance on the ground to continue his league leading rushing attack to start the season. Dion Lewis also added a nice change of pace especially out of the backfield
