Three reasons for concern for the Seahawks against the Titans
The Seahawks play the Titans in week two and while both teams still need a win, Tennessee might need it more. Here are three big concerns for Seattle facing the Titans.
Seahawks concerns versus Titans in week 2
Number one: The Titans have been good following a loss
Last year the Titans did well after they lost a game the week before. They went 4-1 in games that followed a loss last year, and they were humiliated in week one at home against the Cardinals. It was shocking for a team that boasted many offensive weapons to put up a paltry 13 points while allowing six sacks.
Do not expect the Titans to be flat when they come into Lumen Field this Sunday against the Seahawks.
Seahawks concerns versus Titans in week two
Number two: The Titans have lots of weapons on offense
When healthy, the Titans have one of the strongest assortments of offensive position players in the league. AJ Brown and Julio Jones lead the receiving core, and they pose a dangerous threat to a Seahawks secondary that is shaky at the cornerback position. They are far more explosive than any of the receivers Seattle has faced in week one against the Colts.
If they are both healthy Seattle could be in for a long day on defense. Also, Derrick Henry is another running back Seattle will have to keep in check. His success could lead to deep play-action passes to Brown and Jones.
Number three: The Titans could catch the Seahawks complacent after week one
The Seahawks looked amazing last Sunday in all three phases of the game special teams, defense, and offense. However, it is easy to read into the headlines about how great the team performed in week one, only to be stunned at home as six-point favorites.
The Titans and Seattle looked like completely different teams in week one, but do not be fooled the Titans will probably be the AFC South Champions this year. The last thing Seattle wants is to come into this game flat and have a letdown in the first real game in front of fans.
