Featured Discussion Saints @ Titans Game Day Thread

[SmashMouth]

After winning over the reigning Super Bowl champs in week 8, the New Orleans Saints dropped a heartbreaker against their rivals, the Atlanta Falcons after erasing an 18 point deficit in the fourth quarter. Can the Saints bounce back against one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and pick up another quality road win?

One of the biggest takeaways from their loss against the Falcons was how much the Saints' receivers struggled catching the ball, with several drops from a variety of players offensively. Although the receivers caught passes down the stretch of the game, first half drives stalled because of the drops and the offense finally started clicking over the last nine minutes of the game.

On the other sideline, the Tennessee Titans have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL, coming off five straight victories, including wins against the Bills, Chiefs, Colts and Rams. They beat the Rams, even without their all-pro running back Derrick Henry, who underwent foot surgery. His timeline to return is unknown. After starting 2-2, the Titans have turned it on and look like the best team in the AFC.

In the Sean Payton era, the Saints and Titans have only met four times, with the most recent matchup taking place in 2019 in Ryan Tannehill's first season with the team. The Saints won that matchup, but are 2-2 under Payton against the Titans.

This should be one of the better games of the weekend with two teams fighting for seeding in the playoff picture. The Saints need to keep winning to keep pace with the Buccaneers for the NFC South race, while the Titans want to keep winning to hold off the surging Colts and continue to be a top one or two seed in the AFC.

Numbers to Know
