On a day where the Titans were likely going to struggle offensively, Mike Vrabel dove into his bag of tricks early. After the Titans’ first offensive drive stalled, Tennessee dialed up a fake punt that saw a safety to safety connection for the game’s opening touchdown. It was Kevin Byard taking the short snap and hitting a wide open Dane Cruikshank for a long touchdown to kick things off in Nashville today.
The Titans — playing without their top three tackles and quarterback Marcus Mariota — likely knew they would have to steal some points today.
