Mike Vrabel’s team played host to the Chargers on Sunday and quarterback Ryan Tannehill was looking to bounce back from a miserable performance at New Orleans. Tennessee rallied from an early 11-0 deficit and eventually wore down a suspect Los Angeles defense. Tannehill hit on 20-of-24 passes for 246 yards and one score.
The Titans would take a three-point lead with 2:22 but couldn’t stop the Chargers from marching 60 yards and sending the game into overtime. In the extra session, veteran Nick Folk hit the game-winning 41-yard field goal.

Brian Daboll’s team was embarrassed last Sunday night at home by the divisional rival Cowboys. Now the Giants made their way to Arizona looking for their first points of 2023. Big Blue played bad football and was down 20-0 at intermission and actually trailed by 21 points (28-7) with less than 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley led a furious rally with 24 straight points. Jones would throw for 321 yards and two TDs. Graham Gano’s 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds left capped off the comeback.
