The Tennessee Titans finished their preseason on Friday night. They defeated the New England Patriots by a score of 23-7. Here is a recap of what happened on every offensive drive of the night.

Drive No. 1

• Game status: 15:00 to go in the first quarter
• Quarterback: Ryan Tannehill
• Plays/Yards: 3 plays, -2 yards
• Result: Punt
• SMH Moment: The Titans took a delay of game on 3rd & 8.

Drive No. 2

• Game status:  11:09 to go in the first quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 7 plays, 51 yards
• Result: 44-yard Field Goal
• Key Play: Malik Willis took a shot to Chris Moore that drew a penalty and got the Titans 32 yards on third down

• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 4 plays, -4 yards
• Result: 27-yard Field Goal
• SMH Moment: The Titans got the ball on the five-yard line and immediately took a four-yard loss on a run play.
• The Skinny: The Titans' offense has been embarrassing. Another drive where yards were lost. They cannot run on the Patriots second-team defense and only get three yards after getting the ball on the five-yard line.

Drive No. 4

• Game status: 1:55 to go in the first quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 4 plays, 24 yards

• Key Play: Tyjae Spears showcased another brutal stiff arm on a 19-yard scamper.

Drive No. 5

• Game status:  13:16 to go in the second quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 10 plays, 54 yards
• Result: 39-yard Missed Field Goal

• Key Play: Julius Chestnut made some nice cuts for a 23-yard gain.

• Quarterback: Malik Willis

• Key Play: Willis connected with Colten Dowell over the middle for a 30-yard gain.

Drive No. 7

• Game status: 11:39 to go in the third quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 8 plays, 46 yards

• Quarterback: Mason Kinsey then Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 4 plays, 20 yards
• Result: Punt
• Key Play: Jacques Patrick was stopped on a one-yard run forcing a punt.
• The Skinny: Titans tried to get a short first down on a third-down run, but Mike Vrabel probably hoped he got a chance to practice the punt.

Drive No. 10

• Game status: 6:47 to go in the fourth quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis
• Plays/Yards: 6 plays, 25 yards
• Result: 33-yard Field Goal
• Key Play: Patrick had a nice run for 21 yards to the left side
• The Skinny: Titans again tried to convert a short third-down opportunity, but were unable and settled for the field goal. I think Vrabel preferred that anyways.

• Game status:  1:46 to go in the fourth quarter
• Quarterback: Malik Willis

• Result: End of Game
