Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PSF) — The Tennessee Titans fell 35-10 to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday, in a game where the Titans were completely outmatched by the Eagles in every facet of the game. Here is how it all went down.

The Eagles would score a touchdown on their opening drive as Jalen Hurts hit Devonta Smith for 34 yards to give them an early 7-0 lead. The Titans would then go three and out on their first drive. It was the second drive for the Titans where the offense got going as Ryan Tannehill was able to use his legs to move the offense into Eagles territory. Tannehill would find rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks in the endzone for a touchdown to tie the game at seven a piece. Burks, however, got the worst part of catching his first touchdown pass as he collided with an Eagles defender head-on and was ruled out the rest of the game with a concussion. 

The Eagles responded quickly to the Titans touchdown as Jalen Hurts found a wide-open A.J Brown on a 40-yard touchdown pass to put the birds back up 14-7. The Titans would give the ball right back to the Eagles offense after going three and out once again. The Eagles would get into field goal range, but the Titans were able to force them to punt thanks to penalties. The first half ended with the Eagles scoring another touchdown, this time with Jalen Hurts running it in himself to make it  21-10.

In the second half, Jalen Hurts would throw his third touchdown pass of the game to A.J Brown, right over a Titans defender. This now gave the Eagles a 28-10 lead. Tannehill and the Titans offense could not get anything going in the second half, while the Eagles offense would score another touchdown in the end, making it a 35-10 blowout win.

In the end, A.J. Brown got the better of his former team, but the Titans really were no match against one of the best teams in the NFL. The Eagles amassed 453 total yards, while the Titans only had 209. Derrick Henry was a no show in this game, as the Eagles defense held him to only 30 rushing yards. There were no real positives that the Titans could have gotten from this game, aside from the Burks touchdown. Adding insult to injury (literally), two defensive starters in linebacker David Long Jr. and cornerback Kristian Fulton went down in this game.

The Titans have now lost two in a row, but they aim get back on track at home with Jacksonville coming into town next Sunday.
