Titans Defense Falters in Seahawks Preseason Clash

In their second preseason matchup, the Tennessee Titans found themselves down 16-9 at halftime against the Seattle Seahawks. The team's starting defense proved to be a disappointment, conceding two touchdowns to Seattle's backup offense. A notable play from the Seahawks was a 69-yard touchdown run, which went viral. The Titans' defense also suffered from an illegal contact penalty that negated an interception.

Quarterback Cam Ward showed signs of improvement, completing more passes for more yards than in the previous game against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite a cleaner operation, a touchdown was not achieved, partly due to a receiver stepping out of bounds on a potential scoring play. Wide receiver Carnell Tate continued to struggle, failing to record a reception on his targets, earning him "dud" status.

Kicker Joey Slye was the sole scorer for the Titans in the first half, successfully making all three of his field goal attempts, including a 55-yarder. His performance kept the Titans within striking distance heading into the second half of the game.
