AI RECAPIn a tightly contested matchup, the Tennessee Titans narrowly defeated the Miami Dolphins 17-14 in Week 3 of the 2028 season. With both teams looking to establish themselves early in the year, this victory puts the Titans in a strong position as they aim for playoff contention.
Tennessee's offense was driven by quarterback Cam Ward, who threw for two touchdowns and effectively managed the game. Running back Josh Jacobs added a solid ground game with 78 rushing yards, while the Dolphins' Adam Childress showcased his arm talent with 215 passing yards, but it wasn’t enough to clinch the win. Jaylen Waddle led Miami in receiving with 71 yards, but the Dolphins struggled to find the end zone when it mattered most.
Defensively, the Titans made a crucial impact with Oluwafemi Oladejo recording a key sack that shifted the momentum at a pivotal moment in the second half. Miami's defense was led by Will Johnson, who tallied seven total tackles, and Kader Kohou, who intercepted a pass, but they were unable to fully contain Tennessee's scoring drives. The Titans’ ability to capitalize on their offensive opportunities ultimately sealed their victory in this hard-fought battle.
