On defense - gap integrity... tackle... that is all they need to do.

It will be very situational.  The Titans lack the outside pass rush of the Raiders, but have two of the better interior pass rushers in the league.

We didn't think he would have any time last week with the best pass rusher in the league (by pressure rate) going against Prince, but he really stepped up and had a good game against him.

This week it will be on Spain, Hopkins, and Adeniji to give Joe time in the pocket.  

I like when they move Chase inside to get some quick receptions and try to make more YAC.  Higgins is capable of stretching the field as well.  Though he may not have the phone-booth quicks of Chase, he has the long speed and is a very tough assignment in a 50/50 ball scenario.

The bottom line for me is that this team will adapt to whatever the Titans do defensively.  They will get their points.  It is as though there is nothing Burrow has not seen.  It won't be like confusing Lamar Jackson for the Titans.
