Vikings 23, Titans 16 – Staff, Bleacher Report
Through the first month of the season, the Minnesota Vikings offense steamrolled through opponents before wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson were fully healthy. Oddly, the offense hasn’t looked as explosive with a full deck of pass-catchers.
Over the last three weeks, Sam Darnold has thrown five touchdowns and five interceptions. On the other hand, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis had his first turnover-free game last week after returning from an extended absence due to a shoulder injury.
[Bleacher Report NFL analyst Maurice] Moton isn’t buying that Levis has turned a corner in his development, though.
“Levis is coming off his best game of the season, but bettors shouldn’t get their hopes up about his improvement. He still took seven sacks,” Moton said. “The Titans will now face the blitz-happy Vikings, which means Levis must make quick, shrewd decisions from the pocket. Based on his number of turnover-worthy plays this year, don’t expect another efficient performance from him.
“Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will make life in the pocket tough for Levis, and the Titans will remember why they must take a quarterback early in the 2025 draft,” Moton added. “Levis throws multiple interceptions, and the Vikings offense gets its swagger back after settling for four field goals last week.”
