Hockenson were fully healthy. Oddly, the offense hasn&#8217;t looked as explosive with a full deck of pass-catchers.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>[Bleacher Report NFL analyst Maurice] Moton isn&#8217;t buying that Levis has turned a corner in his development, though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Levis is coming off his best game of the season, but bettors shouldn&#8217;t get their hopes up about his improvement. He still took seven sacks,&#8221; Moton said. &#8220;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&#8217;t expect another efficient performance from him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Moton added. &#8220;Levis throws multiple interceptions, and the Vikings offense gets its swagger back after settling for four field goals last week.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vikings 23, Titans 16 \u2013 Staff, Bleacher Report Through the first month of the season, the Minnesota Vikings&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[39877,7,36757,42239,1025,1219,6,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-251119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-expert-picks","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-minnesota-vikings-at-tennessee-titans-2024-reg-11","11":"tag-news-expert-picks","12":"tag-news-index","13":"tag-news-team","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-tennessee","16":"tag-tennessee-titans","17":"tag-tennesseetitans","18":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114948876918003083","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
