The Tennessee Titans are FINALLY in the win column in 2022 after beating the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, 24-22.
Tennessee got off to a red-hot start on offense, scoring a touchdown on their first offensive drive for the third time this season, and they found pay dirt on each of their first three drives, ultimately staking themselves to a 24-10 halftime lead.
However, things unraveled for the Titans’ offense after that, which allowed the Raiders to claw their way back into the game. Tennessee failed to score a single second-half point for the second straight contest.
Thankfully, the defense, which was bend-but-don’t-break all game long, was able to make the first-half lead stand up. The Raiders had an opportunity to tie the game late, but Tennessee’s defense made a stop on the two-point conversion to secure the win.
Now, let’s dive a bit deeper into the details to see how the Titans pulled off their first win of the 2022 campaign against the Raiders.
