NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans have a tough matchup against an offense that has arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL in Justin Jefferson, one of the most dangerous receiving tight ends in TJ Hockenson, a top-level No. 2 wide receiver in Jordan Addison and a true three-down running back in Aaron Jones.
The Vikings' issues of late have been that the resurgence of quarterback Sam Darnold has hit a roadblock. Darnold led the Vikings to a 5-0 start with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. In the past two games, both wins, Darnold has thrown three touchdowns and five interceptions with a fumble.
Despite the poor performance by Darnold, the Vikings' defense found a way to limit points, only giving up 7 to the Jaguars and 13 to the Colts.
That’s good complementary football by a team with a good young head coach and a front office that not only fills needs but has added productive players.
