The Titans did some good issues, however they annoyed themselves – and their followers – with the errors.
Calvin Ridley flashed his pace early, because the Titans jumped forward.
Ridley acquired into the nook of the top zone after taking a handoff from Levis, scoring on a 10-yard run to offer the Titans a 7-0 lead with 2:30 left within the first quarter. The play capped a nine-play, 68-yard drive that additionally included a 15-yard catch from Ridley on third down.

We’ve got given loads of reward to Lamine Yamal’s craft over the previous month, however it was his graft that sparked Barcelona into an excellent 4-1 away win in opposition to Girona on Sunday.
The important thing second got here within the thirtieth minute when Yamal rushed Girona defender David Lopez as he tried to construct out from the again. Having received the ball, Yamal spun on objective with simply the goalkeeper to beat. The match was nonetheless scoreless and subsequent to him was Robert Lewandowski — ready for the simplest of tap-ins.
What Yamal did subsequent may be understood as one other evolution of his profile. He’s not merely the newest younger star to emerge from La Masia, Barca’s famed academy. He’s their go-to determine on and off the pitch, a 17-year-old who naturally ignored the veteran striker beside him in that second as a result of he has greater than earned the appropriate to take the shot on himself.
His assured end arrange a riotous victory — in opposition to fellow Catalans who humbled them twice in final season’s conferences — with Yamal once more the star of the get together. He scored his second seven minutes later, curling house a free ball from the sting of the field.
We had been all impressed by Yamal’s good performances as Spain received the European Championship in the summertime and the beginning of this season has seen him hit the bottom nonetheless operating. He has been concerned in seven objectives (scoring three, aiding 4) in Barca’s 5 La Liga video games. Throughout Europe’s prime 5 leagues, solely Manchester Metropolis striker Erling Haaland has higher figures, with 9 objectives scored (in 4 matches).
Yamal isn’t just a set of sparks. There’s constant manufacturing in his recreation now and there’s arduous work, too. Barcelona have registered the best variety of final-third possession turnovers in La Liga thus far this time period, with 30. Yamal has contributed eight of these — no participant within the competitors has extra.
We’re nonetheless seeing the grace, talent and trickery, however now he’s additionally making the distinction along with his off-the-ball actions, just like the strain for that opening objective right here. It had Barcelona supervisor Hansi Flick punching the air.
“Lamine usually offers the final go and I’m more than happy by that after all, however at present I used to be particularly glad by seeing him taking the possibilities and scoring,” Flick mentioned in his press convention after the sport.

He and his aspect handed what was arguably their largest check collectively since he took over in the summertime — a Catalan derby that final season was traumatic for followers, with Girona scoring eight objectives in two 4-2 victories that had been important in deciding predecessor Xavi’s future.
“Barcelona had been clearly the higher group,” mentioned Girona coach Michel. “We didn’t discover a method out to this excessive strain they do with each wingers closing inside and attacking the centre-backs.”

The worth of success: How final season’s overperformers have rebuilt for the Champions League
Yamal made the distinction, but when another person deserves a particular point out, it’s his team-mate Pedri.
The 21-year-old goes by his finest spell in three years (some would possibly even say his finest at Barca, full cease). The way in which by which he has bossed each midfield he’s been part of this season has been exceptional. Towards Girona, he scored to make it 4-0 simply after the hour, however he additionally recovered the ball 11 instances. Over the earlier two seasons, he’s averaged slightly below 4 ball recoveries per recreation.
Pedri has been in spectacular kind this early season (Jose Breton/Pics Motion/NurPhoto by way of Getty Pictures)
From a bodily perspective, he appears to be like unbelievable. Having missed greater than 80 video games over the earlier three seasons with a wide range of illnesses, Pedri has performed in each recreation of this one thus far after being offered with a particular coaching plan, centered on energy, to guard him from additional muscle damage.
He dribbled previous goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga to attain his objective, then ran to the touchline to hug Flick. “Pedri advised me he would rating simply earlier than the sport, in order that’s why he got here to me I suppose,” mentioned the Barca supervisor.
Then there’s the case of Marc Casado, one other La Masia product who was not given a good likelihood below Xavi final season however has now was an ideal answer in midfield. The 21-year-old doesn’t make soccer too sophisticated, taking part in it easy, however he understands the sport and delivers holding and attacking roles every time the group requires.
A 4-2 defeat at Girona’s Montilivi stadium close to the tip of final season satisfied membership president Joan Laporta to rethink Xavi’s place and he was finally sacked. 4 months later, in that very same location, Flick settled a rating with native rivals whereas displaying the strongest indicators but that this actually is a refreshed Barcelona — regardless of the group having made only one vital summer season addition in Dani Olmo.

Dani Olmo to be assessed after choosing up damage in opposition to Girona
An damage to Olmo was the one darkish aspect to what was an virtually good win.
The Spain worldwide, who scored his third objective in three video games in a Barca shirt to place the away aspect 3-0 up early within the second half, was taken off the pitch with a hamstring damage across the hour mark. Flick confirmed he’ll endure extra exams within the coming days, however membership sources anticipate the damage received’t be too severe, although he’s very prone to miss Thursday’s Champions League opener away in opposition to Monaco of France’s Ligue 1.
This will probably be a protracted season and there will probably be bumps within the street, however the first glimpses of the brand new Barca have been sufficient to excite followers — and it’s simple to see why.
After early-season expectations dominated by speak of Actual Madrid’s newest galacticos line-up, Flick’s aspect are the very best group in La Liga by a distance proper now.

Every week after blowing a 17-point lead in opposition to the Bears, the Titans caught first once more, in opposition to the Jets.

The San Francisco 49ers nonetheless haven’t gained in Minneapolis since all the way in which again in 1992.
San Francisco took to U.S. Financial institution Stadium on Sunday using excessive on a brief week following Monday’s win over the New York Jets. Kyle Shanahan’s squad ended up falling to the Minnesota Vikings by the rating of 23-17 in a mistake-filled recreation.
Defensively, the 49ers gave up an absud 97-yard landing to star Vikings large receiver Justin Jefferson. It was a part of a broader lackluster effort for this unit.
Although, it was the 49ers’ offense that stood out in a nasty means Sunday in Minnesota. With out star working again Christian McCaffrey, quarterback Brock Purdy seemed lackluster. In the meantime, the 49ers’ offensive line was overwhelmed by the scheme of Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
There definitely are much more questions than solutions after this lackluster effort from the defending NFC champions.
High Takeaways From 49ers Loss To The Vikings
From Purdy’s efficiency to the absence of McCaffrey and what we noticed on protection, there are definitely so much takeaways for the 49ers. As famous above, there are additionally a ton of questions. Let’s take a look at 4 takeaways right here.

Sure, and the solar comes up within the morning. McCaffrey put up north of two,000 whole yards and 21 touchdowns for a motive final season. He’s among the many most dominant skill-position gamers within the recreation.
That confirmed in his absence on Sunday. Positive, Jordan Mason put up triple-digit dashing yards for the second time in McCaffrey’s stead on Sunday. However the 49ers missed their beginning working again within the passing recreation.

Mason caught only one move for 4 yards on one goal. Purdy missed him open on the flat at instances, a transparent indication that he doesn’t have the identical reference to Mason as he does with McCaffrey.
CMC’s dual-threat skill made the 49ers’ offense almost unstoppable final season. With out him within the combine on Sunday, that definitely was not the case.
Sloppy Play All The Method Round

San Francisco put up its sloppiest efficiency since a Week 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens final season.
Purdy misplaced a fumble and threw an interception. Break downs from safeties George Odum and Ji’Ayir Brown led on to the 49ers giving up the longest play in franchise historical past, that 97-yard landing from the aforementioned Jefferson.
A break down in punt protection led on to a protracted return and extra factors for the Vikings. This isn’t a profitable formulation. San Francisco’s head coach agrees.
“They (the Vikings) performed very well, but it surely was too sloppy on our half,” Kyle Shanahan informed reporters after the sport.
Taking part in on a brief week can result in some iss]ues. However that’s not an excuse. Shanahan simply didn’t have his staff able to play on this one.
49ers Ignored The Vikings
That is an apparent takeaway. Contemporary off a blowout win over the Jets, San Francisco merely neglected what’s now a reasonably good Vikings staff on the street. It’s extraordinarily disappointing within the grand scheme of issues.
Have been the 49ers waiting for subsequent week’s rivalry recreation in opposition to the Rams in Los Angeles? It’s doable. But it surely’s any given Sunday within the NFL. San Francisco discovered that out first hand.
Move Safety Points, Brock Purdy Struggles

After happening simply two instances in final week’s win over the Jets, Purdy was sacked a whopping six instances. That included Pat Jones and Andrew Van Ginkel each attending to him for 2 sacks.
Schematically, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores had his means with Shanahan from a play-calling perspective. That’s a rarity.
Nonetheless, it’s the 49ers’ offensive line that deserves many of the blame right here. It was, too, confused by what Flores threw at this unit. Specifically, struggling proper deal with Colton McKivitz continued to behave as a turnstile. One now has to surprise if San Francisco appears outdoors of the group for a substitute.

Nick Bosa had two sacks. Fred Warner added one other. All mentioned, San Francisco took down Sam Darnold 4 instances within the loss.
For Bosa, this represented his first two sacks of the season. He’ll must proceed making an impression with San Francisco’s depth out on the sting in query.
As for Warner, he created two turnovers. That included an interceptions of Darnold with the Vikings driving and up 10-0. It led to San Francisco’s first landing of the sport. Warner is the perfect defensive participant within the NFL proper now. It’s not essentially that shut. It’s additionally one constructive takeaway from Sunday’s loss.
