3. Titans D vs. the Dolphins
The Dolphins, oof. Ryan Tannehill is back! Jarvis Landry is gone. There’s no premiere back (yet) with Kenyan Drake as the man in Miami, unless the Frank Gore of old shows up. The Titans defense has steadily improved year after year and added to that with the Malcolm Butler signing.
To their credit, the Dolphins went out and signed Danny Amendola to be their number one (?) guy by committee with Kenny Stills. Amendola had a great run in New England, but how he transitions from Tom Brady to Ryan Tannehill remains to be seen.
The Titans are hungry and coming off an AFC Divisional Round exit in 2017-18. All-Pro safety Kevin Byard should continue his rise to becoming one of the top safeties in the league, and the Titans should find ways to shut down the run and force Tannehill, coming off injury, into some tough throws on Sunday.
