Raiders defense wraps up Titans 20-10

It was Devin White and Maxx Crosby and Jonah Laulu and seemingly every defender wearing Raiders silver and black.

Las Vegas’ defense, which allowed at least 40 points in two of the past three games, came at Tennessee in droves on Sunday.

The result was a suffocating 20-10 victory over the Titans.

The Raiders (2-4) ended a four-game skid, and the Titans (1-5) missed an opportunity to win consecutive games for the first time since November of 2022, a 47-game stretch.

Neither of the struggling teams did much on offense. They combined for 451 yards. The teams combined for 2.39 yards per play in the first half, the lowest since Baltimore and Jacksonville combined to average 1.80 in 2011.

Las Vegas won fairly easily despite pedestrian numbers from Geno Smith (174 yards and one touchdown passing) and Ashton Jeanty (75 yards and a TD on a 3.3-yards-per-play average).

Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the top overall pick in the NFL draft, was 26 of 38 for 222 yards. He connected with David Martin-Robinson for the second-year tight end’s first career TD.

The Titans will host New England on Sunday.
