Patriots Beat Titans 31-13, Win Fourth Straight

The New England Patriots beat the Tennessee Titans 31-13 in Week 7 at Nissan Stadium, improving to 5-2 and extending their winning streak to four games. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel made an emotional return to Nashville after his January 2024 firing, drawing chants and signs from fans though he downplayed the attention. Quarterback Drake Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 62 yards, while Rhamondre Stevenson added 88 rushing yards and a touchdown as New England dominated the line of scrimmage. Tennessee fell to 1-6, hampered by turnovers including a Cam Ward fumble returned for a defensive touchdown and the loss of defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons to a hamstring injury. Interim coach Mike McCoy made his Titans debut after Brian Callahan was fired, underscoring the franchise’s turmoil.
