The Tennessee Titans got here into Week 4 as one among three groups winless on the season. The Bengals lastly bought a win on Sunday, whereas the Jaguars dropped to 0-4, giving the Titans an opportunity to maneuver out of final place within the AFC South if they may beat the reeling Dolphins in Miami on Monday Evening Soccer.
One of many large issues for the Titans has been turnovers, as quarterback Will Levis led the NFL with eight giveaways coming into Monday night time. A few of these have been breathtakingly unhealthy, headlined by his pick-6 to lose to the Bears in Week 1. Each week, Levis appears to invent new methods to offer the ball to the opposite workforce, and it didn’t take lengthy on Monday night time for him to current his first present to the Dolphins.
After crossing midfield on the Titans opening drive, Levis dropped again and threw a ball immediately at Dolphins defensive finish Emmanuel Ogbah, who was dropping into protection. Now, being a lineman, Ogbah doesn’t have the very best arms and has his wrists closely taped, so the ball bounced off his arms and, within the second, regarded prefer it would possibly fall incomplete. Nonetheless, Ogbah someway pinned the ball between his thighs earlier than it bought to the bottom and bought a hand beneath to take care of management and get the choose in an unbelievable effort.
It’s fairly unbelievable how this stuff occur to Levis, however fortunately for him, the Dolphins are additionally extraordinarily unhealthy at offense proper now as they’re on their third quarterback — Snoop Huntley, who they elevated from the observe squad this week — after Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion in Week 2. On the following drive, the Dolphins labored it into Tennessee territory earlier than Huntley threw a backwards cross that Tyreek Hill couldn’t deal with, and regardless of a half-hearted effort to swat the ball out of bounds, Arden Key scooped it up for the Titans.
It took a assessment to name it a fumble and Titans ball, which saved the Dolphins 7 factors as Key would’ve been in a position to home that had it not been blown lifeless on the sector. The weird first quarter continued on the Titans subsequent drive when Levis injured his throwing shoulder diving for a primary down (which he was not given), resulting in Mason Rudolph coming into the sport for the Titans.
