NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (1-4) play their third consecutive road game this week, traveling to play for the first time in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium (capacity 65,000). Kickoff against the Raiders (1-4) is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PDT/3:05 p.m. CDT on Sunday, Oct. 12.
The last time Tennessee traveled to face the Raiders was 2019, the Raiders' final season in Oakland before they relocated to Las Vegas in 2020. Tennessee took that matchup 42-21 and won the next meeting at Nissan Stadium, a 24-22 win on Sept. 25, 2022. However, the Raiders maintain a 30-22 advantage in the all-time series, including the postseason.

TITANS LOOKING TO BUILD ON WIN AT ARIZONA
The Titans visited Arizona last week and won in dramatic fashion. After they trailed 21-3 in the first half and 21-6 in the fourth quarter, Joey Slye made a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter to complete the 22-21 comeback win.
The Titans registered their largest fourth-quarter comeback victory since overcoming a 21-point deficit to defeat the New York Giants 24-21 on Nov. 26, 2006. Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, the only other game won by the Titans franchise after trailing by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter was Nov. 1, 1987 against Cincinnati, when the team erased a 15-point margin to win 31-29.
No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward started for the fifth consecutive week to begin the season and was credited with his first career win and his first career game-winning drive. In the fourth quarter, he was 13-of-18 passing for 193 yards. Since 2000, Ward and the Titans' Vince Young (Nov. 26, 2006) are the only NFL rookie quarterbacks to win a game in which they trailed by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter.
Ward's top target was wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who finished with five receptions for 131 yards. It was the sixth-highest receiving yardage total of Ridley's career.
On defense, the Titans were led by 1.5 sacks by defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Simmons' 3.5 total sacks this season are tied for his best total of his career (2022) through five games and lead all NFL defensive tackles in 2025.
THE RAIDERS
The Raiders are led by Pete Carroll, who was named head coach in January. He previously spent 14 seasons as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, directing the franchise to consecutive Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl XLVIII victory following the 2013 campaign.
Quarterback Geno Smith is also in his initial season in Las Vegas after a previous stint in Seattle. He has started each of the first five games of 2025. Since 2022, Smith's 13,402 passing yards rank fourth in the NFL, and his 77 touchdown passes rank ninth.
The Raiders won their 2025 season opener at New England before suffering losses in their past four contests. Last week they traveled to Indianapolis, where the Colts won 40-6.
