The Chargers beat the Titans 17-14 last season and their matchup Sunday might be a similar battle of wills on the ground game for teams seeking their first win. Jeff Miller makes prediction.
The Chargers’ Justin Herbert passes during a 17-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans last season. With running back Austin Ekeler out this week, Herbert will need to deliver Sunday.
In Week 1, Miami routinely deployed two deep safeties, basically asking the Chargers to run. They answered with 234 yards on the ground and a 5.9-yard-per-attempt average. This is an offense that hasand still ran the ball 40 times, five of which were carries by Herbert. Now comes a Tennessee defense that surrendered the fewest rushing yards in the league last season. The 2022 Titans gave up only nine rushing touchdowns. The Chargers ran for three scores against the Dolphins.
While the Chargers enter Sunday hoping for a bounce-back game from their pass defense even with starting linebacker Eric Kendricks out, Tennessee might be readying to unleash a furious ground game behind Derrick Henry. One of the NFL’s biggest bruisers, Henry carried only 15 times in Week 1, gaining 63 yards. He also caught two passes for 56 yards on a day when the Titans failed to score a touchdown in a 16-15 loss at New Orleans.
