The Tennessee Titans fell 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 tends to have its starters on the field for the majority of the game.
This week’s matchup was more even than the score would have you believe. Thanks to some penalties that took away scores and big plays, and one that provided the Vikings with an additional chance to score after a flag was thrown on a clean play. They scored a touchdown after that, and the momentum of the game shifted.
Let’s take a peek at the best and worst performers of the Titans’ loss to the Vikings as graded by Pro Football Focus.
