The Titans lost 27-20 to the Chargers, dropping to 1-8 despite a strong start and strong defense.

The Tennessee Titans lost 27-20 to the Los Angeles Chargers at Nissan Stadium, dropping to 1-8. A strong start included a defensive touchdown and a 67-yard punt return by rookie Chimere Dike, but the offense struggled, going 1-of-9 on third down and failing to score on two drives from the 1-yard line. Despite six sacks on Justin Herbert, who threw for 250 yards and two TDs and ran for another, the Chargers controlled the clock in the second half. The Titans were penalized seven times and missed a 37-yard field goal. Coach Mike McCoy and players cited execution issues across all phases. The team has a bye week before facing Houston on November 16.
