Following the NFL trade deadline frenzy, the Tennessee Titans actually play a football game on Sunday. They’ll face the AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. These two franchises are in different spots. While the Titans traded Jeffery Simmons and Amani Hooker away, the Jaguars brought in Jordan Davis, Davon Godchaux, and Jessie Bates III.
The Titans didn’t trade any offensive players during the deadline. They’ll attempt to build on the 36-point success they found versus the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. With that in mind, we’ve identified three Titans players who need big-time performances against the Jaguars.
QB Cam Ward
Cam Ward played the best game of his career versus the Bengals in Week 8. It was his first-ever 300 yard passing performance. Ward threw two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and even rushed for a career-high 41 yards. He was accurate, aggressive, decisive, and efficient. The former Miami Hurricanes standout will now look to build on that momentum against a very good Jaguars defense that is being coached by a future HC in Anthony Campanile.
WR Carnell Tate
Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate did not practice earlier this week, but appears to be trending in the correct direction. The fourth overall pick missed the Week 8 Bengals game, but also had the bye week to rest and recover. Tate, who won Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, has shown terrific chemistry with Ward. Despite the Bengals result, the Titans desperately need their playmaking WR1 versus this vaunted Jaguars defense.
RB Tony Pollard
The Titans decided against trading Tony Pollard at the deadline. Their lead running back has rushed for 100+ yards in consecutive appearances, adding five touchdowns across those performances. Pollard’s breakout has coincided with Ward’s breakout, which is partially why the Titans held onto him past the trade deadline. He needs to keep momentum going.
