titans-vs-seahawks

TEAM NOTES

  • The Titans played their third of four consecutive home games (Weeks 9-13), excluding their Week 10 bye. They continue next week with a contest at Nissan Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars (Nov. 30) prior to traveling to face the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 7.
  • A season-high five of the team's nine 2025 draft picks started against Seattle: quarterback Cam Ward, tight end Gunnar Helm, wide receiver Chimere Dike, cornerback Marcus Harris and safety Kevin Winston Jr. It was the most total rookie draft picks to start any Titans game since the 2005 season, when five or more draft picks started a total of six times.
  • A season-high 10 total rookies participated in the game for the Titans. There have been four other occasions in 2025 in which nine Titans rookies participated for the club.
  • Two players made their Titans debuts: safety Jerrick Reed II and rookie wide receiver Xavier Restrepo. It was Restrepo's NFL debut. Reed and Restrepo became the 68th and 69th players to participate for the Titans in a game in 2025.
  • The 24 total points by the Titans amounted to a season high through 11 games.
  • The 21 points the Titans scored in the second half was the team's best total in the second half since Dec. 22, 2024, when it scored 23 points in the final two quarters at Indianapolis.
  • The Titans' possessed the ball for 37 minutes and 25 seconds. It was the team's best time of possession since Nov. 3, 2024, when it had the ball for 38 minutes and 44 seconds against New England.
  • The Titans offense converted five fourth downs on seven attempts (71.4 percent). The five fourth-down conversions were the most by the Titans/Oilers in any game since the beginning of the 1991 season. Within the NFL since the beginning of the 1991 campaign, the Titans' five fourth-down conversions tied for the second-highest total behind only the Los Angeles Chargers' six fourth-down conversions at Las Vegas on Jan. 9, 2022. In that span, the Titans joined nine other teams that converted five fourth downs in a contest.
  • The Titans opened the game with a 15-play, 63-yard drive for a field goal on a first possession. It marked the fifth time in 2025 the team scored on its opening drive (five field goals). The drive used 9 minutes and 9 seconds. In terms of time used, it was Tennessee's longest scoring drive of the season and the longest since a touchdown drive that took 9 minutes and 36 seconds against Carolina on Nov. 26, 2023. Additionally, since the beginning of the 2000 season, the drive used more clock than any other Titans opening drive that resulted in a score.
  • The Titans held the Seahawks offense to a pair of third-down conversions on seven attempts and sacked Sam Darnold on Seattle's lone fourth-down try. The 28.6 percent third- down conversion rate by the Seahawks was the second-best for the Titans defense in 2025 behind the 25.0 percent by the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 21.
