Cardinals vs Titans Preview
The Titans went 11-5 last season, powered by an offense that put up the second-most yards from scrimmage in the NFL.
While Tennessee will still have Derrick Henry — the league’s leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns for two years running — to lean on, quarterback Ryan Tannehill lost two of his best receiving threats over the offseason in wideout Corey Davis and tight end Jonnu Smith.
They ranked second and third, respectively, on the team in both catches and receiving yards a year ago.
In their splashiest offseason move, the Titans compensated for those losses by trading for Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones.
The seven-time Pro Bowler missed seven games due to injury last year, but still managed to rack up 51 grabs for 771 yards and a trio of touchdowns.
He’ll join wideout A.J. Brown — whose 70 catches, 1,075 receiving yards and 11 touchdown grabs all led the team in 2020 — to form one of the most talented receiving duos in the league.
“For me personally, if he makes a big play, I’m definitely going to try and make a big play,” Brown said, according to TennesseeTitans.com. “I am going to try and lead off of him, and use the momentum from each other and build, and just keep going. I know what type of player he is on the other side, and I have to do my part.”
The Cardinals seemed primed to end a five-year postseason drought last year, opening the season 5-2. But they stumbled late, resulting in an 8-8 record, in no small part due to quarterback Kyler Murray’s midseason shoulder injury.
Murray fought through the injury to his throwing arm, starting every game, and Arizona finished the year with more yards from scrimmage than all but five squads.
Inspired by the promise shown in 2020, the front office acquired big-name free agents in defensive end J.J. Watt — a three-time defensive player of the year — and seven-time Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green, and traded for three-time Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson, in an effort to push the squad into the playoffs.
“Every year in the NFL there’s pressure,” Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said, according to ESPN. “So, I just kind of take it week by week and try to do the best that we can. But it’s a team that was put together to win now, there’s no doubt, and there’s a lot of guys in that locker room that are getting up in age, can still play at a high level, but they have a sense of urgency to try and have a successful season.”
