It is time for the Tennessee Titans to get the first win of their season. The New York Giants will be without starting quarterback Jaxson Dart after he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Monday night. They could also be without star EDGE rusher Brian Burns. The Titans need to capitalize.
Jameis Winston will get the start for the Giants. Winston is not a bad quarterback, but he does have the propensity to give the ball to the other team. The Titans picked off Jalen Hurts twice last week. If they
can do that again, they will have a really good shot.
On offense, they need to build off last week’s momentum. The key there will be the ability to stay balanced. Against the Eagles, they had 29 rushes and 20 passes. They can only do that if they don’t fall behind early and if they stay ahead of the chains.
Cam Ward needs to continue the progress we saw from Week 1 to Week 2. He hasn’t turned the ball over in either of the first two games. Limiting his throws is the best path forward for now. There will come a time when they have to lean on him to win games. The hope is that he is better equipped to do that as he continues to become comfortable in Brian Daboll’s offense.
This is a game the Titans really need to win. They get the benefit of facing a backup quarterback. Winston is a pretty good player, but there is a reason Dart was the starter. They have a tough 3-game stretch coming after this, with games at the Baltimore Ravens, at home against the Houston Texans, and at the Indianapolis Colts. Go take advantage of a beat-up Giants team.
