The Tennessee Titans kicked off the 2024 preseason with a 17-13 win over the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
It was a good start for Tennessee’s first-team offense, as quarterback Will Levis led two touchdown drives. Levis was sharp, completing four of his five passing attempts and backups Mason Rudolph and Malik Willis picked right up where he left off.
Tennessee’s defense and special teams had some fun, too. Third-year linebacker Chance Campbell led all players with nine tackles and a sack. On special teams, second-year wide receiver Kearis Jackson had a highlight-worthy 63-yard kickoff return to set up Tennessee’s first touchdown.
