Titans Lean on Patience as They Host Patriots After Challenging Season Start

The Tennessee Titans face an uphill climb at 1-6, with the focus shifting to long-term growth and preparation for the 2025 NFL season rather than immediate playoff hopes. As they prepare to host the New England Patriots on Sunday, Tennessee’s priority centers on developing quarterback Will Levis, who could return from a shoulder injury to start. The matchup pits two struggling teams with a combined 3-12 record, though each team’s outlook remains starkly different.

Titans: Building for the Future with Will Levis

For the Titans, this season has become an opportunity to grow, placing significant focus on Levis’s development under first-year head coach Brian Callahan. While Levis’s season has had its struggles, including seven interceptions and three fumbles over five games, the team remains committed to his progress rather than opting for a veteran alternative. Callahan emphasizes a balanced approach, acknowledging the need to both win and nurture Levis’s potential.

“There’s not a lot of patience in pro sports,” Callahan admitted. “But this is a hard position to master. You have to play through mistakes to learn those lessons.”

Levis’s completion rate has improved this season to 66.4 percent, a marked increase over last year. However, with less than nine yards per completion, the team hopes for greater production and accuracy as the season progresses. Backup Mason Rudolph, who has demonstrated slightly higher yards per attempt, may also see snaps depending on Levis’s health.

Patriots: A Glimmer of Hope with Quarterback Stability

The New England Patriots (2-6) managed to break a six-game losing streak last week with a narrow 25-22 victory over the New York Jets. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye suffered a concussion early in that game, leaving the door open for veteran Jacoby Brissett, who stepped in to lead a late touchdown drive and seal the win. Brissett is expected to start if Maye doesn’t clear the concussion protocol in time.

Head coach Jerod Mayo praised Brissett’s readiness, noting,

“I feel very comfortable putting Jacoby in there as he is a professional and always stays ready, as you could see from the last game.”

After a disappointing 24-3 loss to the Jets earlier in the season and a tough defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, Mayo’s call for greater resilience seems to have resonated. New England’s defense and offense both showed more fight and cohesiveness last week, answering their coach’s challenge and changing the team’s momentum, albeit modestly.

Injury Concerns for Both Teams

Injuries remain a pressing issue for both squads. New England has key players on the injured list, with 13 players limited in practice on Wednesday, including safety Kyle Dugger and quarterback Drake Maye. Three players did not participate, among them linebacker Christian Eliss and offensive tackle Vederian Lowe.

The Titans face similar challenges, with nine players missing practice. This group includes several crucial offensive contributors, such as wide receivers Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley, and running back Tony Pollard. Levis was a limited participant, indicating his status for Sunday remains uncertain.

Key Takeaways and Matchup History

Historically, New England holds an edge over Tennessee, leading the series 26-18-1, including a 36-13 win in their most recent matchup in 2021. Despite the Patriots’ record, they’re hoping to build momentum, while the Titans remain focused on incremental improvement.

The game will test both teams’ resilience and adaptability, as the Patriots aim to stay competitive in a difficult season and the Titans prioritize their future with Levis under center. Both teams have limited playoff prospects, but each possesses the determination to finish strong, improve, and gain confidence for seasons ahead.
