AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the Arizona Cardinals shut out the Tennessee Titans with a final score of 15-0, securing their first victory of the season in Week 2 of the 2029 campaign. This win not only boosts the Cardinals' confidence but also sends a clear message as they look to establish themselves in the competitive NFC.
Quarterback Rickey Johnson Jr. led the offensive charge for Arizona, throwing for 212 yards while displaying poise in the pocket. Jeremiyah Love was a force on the ground, racking up 114 rushing yards, enabling the Cardinals to control the tempo throughout the game. Trey McBride contributed significantly in the passing game, hauling in 77 receiving yards to keep drives alive and put points on the board.
Defensively, the Titans struggled to contain the Cardinals' offensive attack, but linebacker Vic Burley stood out with seven total tackles, showcasing his ability to read plays. The turning point came in the second half when the Cardinals' relentless pressure stifled any chance of a Titans comeback, allowing them to maintain their lead and ultimately secure the shutout victory. Despite Jeffery Simmons' impressive 1.5 sacks, Tennessee could not find the rhythm needed to mount an effective offensive response.
