SEA 16/TEN 19

FOXNissan Stadium

Things to say

Tennessee edged Seattle 19-16 at Nissan Stadium, rallying from a 16-3 hole to win on a late fourth-quarter touchdown.

opener

Titans found a way, 19-16. Seattle jumped out 16-3 and just sat on it. Tennessee chipped away and stole it late.

key player

Joey Slye was the whole offense — four field goals, kicked from 55 out. When your kicker outscores your skill guys, that tells you the day.

hot take

Seattle got outworked in the second half, flat out. You don't blow a 13-point lead unless you stop wanting it.

deep cut

D'Ernest Johnson punched in the two-yard game-winner, but the real story was Jacardia Wright ripping a 69-yard scamper early for Seattle and then vanishing.

exit

Preseason reps anyway — Cam Ward looked fine in his cameo. Curious what the starters do once it counts.

The recap

Seattle jumped all over Tennessee early, riding Drew Lock's 36-yard strike to Elijah Arroyo and a 69-yard house call from Jacardia Wright to build a 16-3 lead that looked comfortable.

Then the offense just went quiet — the Titans chipped away with Joey Slye booting four field goals, hanging around until they finally punched it in when D'Ernest Johnson bulled in from two yards out to steal it 19-16. Tennessee never got much going through the air with Cam Ward, but they let their defense keep them close and cashed in when it mattered.

Classic case of a team that couldn't put the game away paying for it in the fourth quarter.
