The Tennessee Titans fell to 0-2 after a 33-19 home defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, continuing their early-season struggles. Despite flashes of promise, penalties and second-half breakdowns cost them dearly.
Top takeaways from Titans' 33-19 loss to the Rams:
1. Elic Ayomanor Shows Rookie Potential
Rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor had a breakout performance, catching four passes for 56 yards and scoring his first NFL touchdown on Cam Ward’s first career passing TD. Ayomanor looked much more comfortable and explosive compared to Week 1, signaling that he could become a reliable target in the Titans’ offense moving forward.
2. Offensive Line Woes Persist
The Titans’ offensive line, led by right tackle Dan Moore Jr., struggled to protect rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Moore drew a penalty and allowed multiple sacks, forcing the coaching staff to rotate John Ojukwu and Blake Hance into the game, who also struggled.
The consistent pressure contributed to stalled drives and made it difficult for Tennessee to sustain offensive momentum, highlighting a major area in need of improvement.
