Seattle Seahawks vs Tennessee Titans — Recap

📰Game Recap

The Tennessee Titans overcame a significant early deficit, shutting out the Seattle Seahawks for the final three quarters to secure a road victory. After falling behind by 13 points in the first quarter, the Titans methodically chipped away with a series of field goals before a late touchdown sealed their comeback win.

Seattle burst out of the gates, scoring all 16 of its points in the opening quarter. Drew Lock connected with Elijah Arroyo for a 36-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring. Following a 55-yard field goal from Joey Slye for Tennessee, Jacardia Wright broke free for a 69-yard rushing touchdown. Jason Myers then added a 48-yard field goal, giving the Seahawks a commanding 16-3 lead at the end of the first. The Titans began their slow climb back in the second quarter, as Slye converted from 33 and 40 yards, narrowing the gap to 16-9 by halftime.

The turning point came not from a single explosive play, but through Tennessee's relentless, methodical scoring and Seattle's offensive stagnation after its initial outburst. The Seahawks, despite their impressive 16-point first quarter, failed to score a single point for the remainder of the contest. Joey Slye proved pivotal for the Titans, consistently hitting field goals from 33, 40, and 43 yards to progressively chip away at Seattle's lead, bringing the score to 16-12 in the fourth quarter. This continuous pressure set the stage for D'Ernest Johnson's 2-yard rushing touchdown, which put Tennessee ahead for the first time.

Ultimately, Tennessee's ability to completely stifle the Seahawks' offense after the first quarter, coupled with their consistent, albeit measured, offensive output, allowed them to complete the improbable comeback. Their defensive stand and the precision of their kicking game proved too much for an early-surging Seattle squad that couldn't maintain momentum. The Titans now stand at 2-1 for the season, while the Seahawks fall to 0-2-1.
