The Falcons lost in Week 3, but it was arguably their best game of the season. Matt Ryan put up a 121.2 QB Rating, while Devonta Freeman more than doubled his two-game rushing totals. Meanwhile, the Titans looked dreadful in their Thursday night loss to the Jaguars. Both teams enter this game with a 1-2 record, but these are two teams heading in opposite directions.
The Titans have needed a heavy dose of Derrick Henry just to remain competitive, as Marcus Mariota looks increasingly unfit for the role of starting QB. Henry is a powerful runner, but he has minimal ability to create space on his own. As defenses get less concerned with Mariota, they’ll focus more on stopping the run, and Henry might not be capable of producing against stacked boxes. The Falcons have been a top-eight defense by total yards and pass yards allowed.

The Titans’ biggest strength has been their defense, though the schedule has done them some favors. They’ve allowed the third-fewest passing yards per game, but the Falcons are the first team they’ve faced with an above-average passing attack. The Falcons are sixth in pass yards per game.
