Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:22:55 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Malik Willis shook off a rough start while passing for 211 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Tennessee Titans to a 23-7 victory Friday night over the New England Patriots in the teams’ preseason finale. Ryan Tannehill started and handed off three times in his lone action this preseason before putting on a ballcap for the rest of the night for the Titans (2-1). New England (1-2) rested much of its starters with Bailey Zappe starting at quarterback. The Patriots managed just 79 yards total offense. Tennessee had six sacks and forced a turnover with most of the Titans’ starters playing the first quarter.With rookie Will Levis missing a second straight game with an injured left thigh, Willis made his case to back up Tannehill again this season. The 86th pick in the 2022 draft struggled in the first quarter, going 1 of 5 for 22 yards. He also threw a pass that went behind tight end Josh Whyle and off the rookie’s hands to Patriots linebacker C...
