Titans’ reasons for optimism, concern in Week 3 vs. Raiders

After what we’ve seen from the Tennessee Titans to start the 2022 season, it’s hard to have any optimism that things will get better.

The offense has been bad, both on the ground and through the air, mostly because the offensive line has stunk. It also doesn’t help that offensive coordinator Todd Downing is simply a bad play-caller.

The part of the team that was supposed to be the most reliable, the defense, has been bad, also. The unit has allowed a whopping 62 points in the last six quarters of play, including allowing a 41 spot to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.

The Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders is certainly a more favorable matchup than the one the Titans had in Week 2, but this game presents several difficult challenges for the Titans to overcome.

We’ll try to keep the glass half full with some reasons for optimism, but we’ll also take a look at the reasons for concern going into Week 3.
