First Quarter

The Patriots won the toss and deferred, putting Ryan Tannehill and the Titans offense on the field first. For New England, it marked rookie Marte Mapu’s preseason debut, who spent most of the first series at the safety spot. Beyond Mapu, it was a strong start for New England’s defense who forced an opening three-and-out.

Bailey Zappe drew the start at quarterback for New England. After back-to-back handoffs to Kevin Harris, Zappe’s third-down pass fell incomplete intended for Matt Sokol. Bryce Baringer punted back to Tennessee.

Facing an early third-and-11 with Malik Willis in at QB on their next drive, a deep incompletion drew a defensive pass interference on Jack Jones for 32 yards. Willis then found Nick Westbrook-Ikhine the very next play for 22 more yards, but Tennessee was eventually forced to settle for a field goal. [Patriots 0 : 3 Titans]

On New England’s first play of their second possession, Zappe had the ball knocked loose for a strip sack.

Taking over at New England’s five-yard line after the turnover, Tennessee’s first run was blown up by Calvin Munson for a four-yard loss. After a run for no gain and incompletion, Tennessee was forced to settle for another field goals. [Patriots 0 : 6 Titans]

A 27-yard return by J.J. Taylor started New England at Tennessee’s 31-yard line, where a third-down defensive pass interference gave the Patriots a fresh set of downs. With new life, a screen to Taylor picked up an additional first-down, but Zappe was eventually sacked on the following third-down. Baringer then punted back to the Titans.

Tennessee’s next drive started fast with a five-yard gain on the ground by Willis before Tajae Spears bounced one for 19 more. Two plays later, Willis pass to Whyle was tipped and intercepted by Calvin Munson.
