The New York Giants matchup might be even juicier than the Jets contest. Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll certainly has that one circled, along with assistants Shea Tierney and Carmen Bricillo. The Titans also signed WanâDale Robinson, Austin Schlottmann, Daniel Bellinger, and CorâDale Flott. On the Giantsâ side, they have Dennard Wilson and Brian Callahan on the coaching staff. The Titans briefly pursued John Harbaugh as head coach, who quickly took the Giants gig. Furthermore, they hired Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator after his connection to Mike Borgonzi failed to help him land the Titans job. Thereâs also the battle of sophomore quarterbacks Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart. Wowza!
The Titans arguably hit rock bottom against the Las Vegas Raiders last season. Brian Callahan was dismissed as head coach following that letdown. Theyâll play the Raiders again in Week 12 this campaign with sights on proving Saleh has improved the organization. The Raiders have since hired Klint Kubiak and drafted Fernando Mendoza, so theyâve undergone sweeping changes since last yearâs Titans meeting. Titans front-office exec Reggie McKenzie is the Raidersâ former GM, and the organization also hired 2025 Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy this offseason.
