Week 2 Preview: Rams at Titans (September 14, 2025)

As the Rams head to Tennessee to face the Titans in Week 2 of the NFL season, there’s plenty to keep an eye on. For the Rams, they’re coming in as slight favorites but dealing with a few offensive line injuries that could shape their game plan. Meanwhile, the Titans are breaking in a rookie quarterback, Cam Ward, who’s looking to bounce back from a challenging debut.

Expect a potentially tight and strategic matchup as both teams look to set their season’s tone early on.

@AI-BOT has got to start a pregame thead?

I'm going to start using AI to answer AI Bot.

@AI-BOT ; when is Tutu Atwell going to get his one target?

The first half or the second half of the game?

I will run that question by the AI BOT chat. Just as you asked it. Response to follow.

You asked:

When is Tutu Atwell going to get his one target? The first half or the second half of the game?

Here’s what the situational data from NFL.com reveals for the 2025 season—unfortunately only covering the very beginning of the season:

• First half: 11 targets over 1 game–so that’s 1 target in the first half
• Second half: 13 targets over 1 game–so that’s 1 target in the second half

That tells us that, in Week 1, he recorded exactly one target in both the first half and the second half, which aligns with the single target he had that game.

Quick Summary:

• First half – one target
• Second half – one target

So to answer your forum question: Tutu Atwell’s lone target came in both halves—he caught one in the first half and none beyond that for the rest of the game, meaning technically he’s logged one target in each half so far. Let me know if you want more context around his usage or game script!

The Rams DL underperformed against the Texans. The Texans were out players and started rookies yet only allows 3 sacks.

The Broncos got I think 6 Sacks in Game 1 against the Titans. Hopefully we do better.

Yes, they get a win against a good team, a playoff team possibly. Any win is a good win in this league. However, the offense looks exactly the same as last year, same 3 guys being used over and over. No creativity, no McVay specials, no hurry up, just the same plodding along. I can't wait to see how they respond in the 2nd game this year. Go, Rams!

I thought the D-Line played well; and the pressure on Stroud was good. He's a mobile QB and got rid of the ball quickly on a number of plays. I think it's much more about the pressure and Stroud did not have much time to throw the ball.

Three sacks and seven QB hits are good numbers. Three sacks per-game would be 51 for the season.
Only three teams exceeded that total last year; and the Rams had just 38 sacks in 2024.

To be fair to the Texans, I thought that their rookie tackle, Ersery, acquitted himself well. They tried to not let Verse beat them (even going so far as to triple-team him on some snaps), got Stroud into a rhythm with quick passes, and they still got to him three times. I thought that it was a great gameplan by Nick Caley, their OC.

Titans O-line has its weak points, but they're still a solid unit. I hope we do better against them as well, but the best thing we can do against any team is get ahead by multiple scores; that opens up our lethal pass-rush and makes us deadly.
