The Tennessee Titans erased a 13-point deficit to beat the Seattle Seahawks 19-16 in preseason play.
The Tennessee Titans rallied from a 13-point deficit to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 19-16 on Monday night in Nashville, improving to 2-0 in the preseason while the Seahawks fell to 0-2.
Seahawks’ Fast Start
Seattle jumped out to an early lead behind quarterback Drew Lock, who completed 12 of 14 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Lock connected with tight end Elijah Arroyo on a 36-yard scoring strike, and running back Jacardia Wright broke off a 69-yard touchdown run, finishing with 81 yards on eight carries. Kicker Jason Myers added a 48-yard field goal, but his missed extra point after Wright’s touchdown proved costly in the three-point loss.
Titans’ Comeback
Tennessee’s offense sputtered early but found its footing in the second half. Quarterback Cam Ward went 8-of-12 for 69 yards, while running back Julius Chestnut rushed for 48 yards on eight carries. Kicker Joey Slye connected on four field goals, including a 55-yarder, and D’Ernest Johnson’s 2-yard touchdown run capped the comeback. The Titans’ defense, led by Anthony Hill Jr.’s seven tackles and Truman Jones’ 1.5 sacks, held Seattle scoreless after halftime.
Turning Point
The game swung on the Seahawks’ missed extra point and a series of field goals. After Wright’s 69-yard touchdown gave Seattle a 16-3 lead, Myers’ PAT failure kept the margin at 13. Slye then converted from 33, 40, and 43 yards to pull Tennessee within three, and Johnson’s touchdown put the Titans ahead for good.
