Where The Titans Have An Advantage In Week 3
Best part about being 2-0? The chance to go 3-0. Against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3, the Tennessee Titans will get that chance.
But not only will the Titans get the chance to be 3-0 in over a decade, not only will they get a chance to finally prove they are a team that’s better than four straight 9-7 seasons might suggest, but they’ll get the chance to do it all against a team that, at least on paper, they’re more than capable of beating.
The Minnesota Vikings are a team with talent and a team with high preseason expectations, but they’re also a team that’s struggled through the early stages of 2020 to put it all together. And after a competitive loss in Week 1 followed by a beatdown in Week 2, Minnesota might be a team heading in reverse.
Not that Tennessee, even at 2-0, has looked all that impressive. Both of their wins came in dramatic fashion, and both against teams worse on paper than Minnesota. But everything that the Titans are and want to be might match up perfectly against some of the deficiencies of this struggling Vikings team.
Because of the matchup, the Titans should have three good reasons to think they can walk out of Week 3 unscathed, and finally get that 3-0 start.
