The Tennessee Titans lost to the Minnesota Vikings 23-13 on Sunday, bringing their 2024 record to 2-8. We're finally seeing more rotation on the defensive side of the ball and on special teams, while the offense still has its starters on the field for most of the game.
This week's match was more evenly matched than the result suggests. Thanks to a couple of penalties that took away points and big plays, and one that gave the Vikings an extra chance to score after a flag was thrown on a clean play. They then scored a touchdown and the momentum of the game changed.
Let's take a look at the best and worst players from the Titans' loss to the Vikings, as rated by Pro Football Focus.
