The Tennessee Titans faced a significant setback during their recent match. The match was against the Baltimore Ravens in the 2023 London Games. The Titans’ star quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, was carted off to the locker room due to an ankle injury. This unexpected turn of events led to the entry of Malik Willis, who took over as the quarterback for the Titans.
Despite a good start, the game was soon set off as the Ravens took the charge and went on to lead ever after that. While struggling to gain any control of the situation, Malik Willis got an open mouth criticism from Dave Portnoy as he couldn’t fill in the replacement shoes well.

Willis, who had previously struggled in his rookie season, had managed to stay ahead of second-round rookie Will Levis on the depth chart. However, his performance in the match against the Ravens left much to be desired. Seeing him creating havoc instead of proving it a better replacement, Dave Portnoy couldn’t have enough of him, he posted quoting “You gotta kick this guy outta the league for this play #titans,” and said, “I think there is a chance is that the dumbest play in the history of football by this quarterback. Get the f*ck out of the bound.”

Willis completed his first pass of the season when he came in for Tannehill and tried to get something going for a Titans offense that was struggling that day. Unfortunately, Willis’s first drive ended with a punt.
Challenges await amidst the injury surprise for the Titans
The Tennessee Titans, despite their recent setback, have a challenging yet promising journey ahead in the tournament. Their current form, marked by the unfortunate injury of their star quarterback Ryan Tannehill, has certainly been a blow to the team. The performance of Malik Willis, who has taken over as the quarterback, will be crucial in the upcoming matches. His ability to adapt and improve could be a game-changer for the Titans.
Looking ahead, the Titans will be facing several strong teams in both home and away matches. These include formidable opponents like the Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers in home matches; and the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, and Pittsburgh Steelers in away matches. The Titans’ strategy in the away matches would be crucial to watch for as they already have a good history of home matches.
