Tennessee hits the road for the first time this season to face a New York team turning to backup quarterback Jameis Winston on Sunday, Sept. 27.
The Tennessee Titans play their first road game of the season when they travel to face the New York Giants on Sunday, Sept. 27, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Week 3 contest kicks off at noon local time in Nashville, which is 1:00 PM EDT, and will air nationally on CBS. In the Nashville market, the game appears on NewsChannel 5.
Tennessee enters the game at 0-2 after a frustrating 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, a game in which the defense surrendered a late touchdown drive. The defeat followed a 23-10 season-opening loss to the New York Jets on Sept. 13. First-year head coach Robert Saleh is still searching for his first win with the club.
At quarterback, rookie Cam Ward has impressed with his ball security, continuing to protect the football through the first two weeks. However, the Titans offense has yet to fully capitalize on its new skill-position additions, wide receivers Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson, who were brought in during the offseason.
The Giants come in at 1-1 after falling to the Los Angeles Rams on the road in Week 2. The bigger story is under center: starter Jaxson Dart was injured in that loss, forcing New York to turn to veteran backup Jameis Winston as the starter for Week 3. The matchup pits Winston against Ward, giving fans a meeting of former No. 1 overall picks at quarterback.
Broadcast details for the game include Andrew Catalon and Logan Ryan on the call for CBS, with AJ Ross reporting from the sideline. Fans looking to stream the contest can find it on Paramount+ or Fubo. Radio coverage in Nashville is available on WGFX 104.5 FM, The Zone.
Betting markets, per BetMGM odds as of Sept. 26, list the Giants as 2.5-point favorites at home. The over/under is set at 37.5 points, with the money line at Giants -140 and Titans +115. One Tennessean beat reporter, Tyler Palmateer, projected a 17-14 Titans victory, reasoning that Ward would outplay Winston while the Tennessee defense keeps the game close.
After Sunday, the Titans' schedule does not get easier. Tennessee travels to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 4 on Oct. 4, followed by a home date against the Houston Texans on Oct. 11. Both of those games are also scheduled for noon kickoffs on CBS, per the team's published schedule.
Looking further ahead, the Titans have road trips to Indianapolis, Dallas, Jacksonville, Detroit, Las Vegas and Houston, with home games against Cleveland, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Washington, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. The team's bye week falls in Week 9, the weekend of Nov. 8.
Global Sportscast's schedule lists the Titans-Giants matchup for Sunday, September 27 at 1:00 PM EDT from MetLife Stadium, with television coverage on CBS.
