TITANS COMING HOME FOR EXTENDED STRETCH
The Titans enter their third week under the direction of interim head coach Mike McCoy. McCoy, who is in his 23rd overall season coaching in the NFL, served as head coach of the Chargers from 2013 to 2016, during which time the team played in San Diego. The Chargers had a top-10 passing offense every season under McCoy.
The Titans traveled to Indianapolis last week to face the AFC South's first-place Colts. No. 1 overall draft pick quarterback Cam Ward started for the eighth consecutive week for Tennessee and passed for 259 yards. He completed a touchdown pass to rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, and running back Tyjae Spears later added a rushing touchdown. However, the Colts prevailed by a final score of 38-14.
Another Titans rookie, fourth-round wide receiver Chimere Dike, led the offense with 93 yards on seven receptions, establishing highs in both categories through eight career games. Dike also leads the NFL with 1,294 all-purpose yards, the most by any NFL player through eight games since New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles (1,331) in 2011.
Following this week's clash with the Chargers, the Titans will enjoy a Week 10 bye, followed by three consecutive home games against the Houston Texans (Nov. 16), Seattle Seahawks (Nov. 23) and Jacksonville Jaguars (Nov. 30).
THE CHARGERS
The Chargers will have extra time to prepare for the Titans after playing a Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. They won 37-10 to keep pace one game behind the AFC West's first-place team, the Denver Broncos (6-2).
Quarterback Justin Herbert, now in his sixth NFL season, has passed for a league-high 2,140 yards with 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. He threw for three touchdowns in each of the past two games.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh is in his second season with the Chargers after his time at the University of Michigan, where he led the program to a national title in 2023. Harbaugh was the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2014 prior to coaching at Michigan. His father, Jack Harbaugh, was the head coach at Western Kentucky University from 1989 to 2002.
