The Tennessee Titans took advantage against a team that looked as beat up as they were in the Miami Dolphins on Monday night and won their Week 4 matchup, 31-12.

It was one of the ugliest games through the first four weeks of the 2024 season. The Dolphins were down a few players, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Then, Titans fans saw Will Levis leave the game with a shoulder injury.

Those in attendance at Hard Rock Stadium and watching at home on ESPN were forced to watch the epic duel of Mason Rudolph vs. Tyler Huntley. And it was the Rudolph-led Titans who got the better of the Dolphins.

Nick Folk made five field goals, tying his career high, and running backs Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard each scored rushing touchdowns in the victory.

Pollard ran for 88 yards on 22 carries, including a 41-yard run that set up Spears’ touchdown. Then, Pollard got his touchdown in garbage time during Tennessee’s final possession of the night.
