    The Tennessee Titans continue their quest for their first win of the 2024 NFL season with Monday’s nationally televised game at the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

    Tennessee (0-3) had a poor performance at home against the Packers and backup quarterback Malik Willis eight days ago and will have another chance at a replacement on Monday.

    Tyler Huntley, the Ravens’ former backup quarterback, is expected to start for Miami (1-2), which is starting a third different quarterback in three games. He will have access to the entire group of talented Dolphins players, including receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

    Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons has been listed as doubtful due to an elbow injury, and his absence would be a blow to the Tennessee front seven against the Dolphins’ mediocre offensive line.

    The Titans have yet to get a flawless game from QB Will Levis, who had a fumble and an interception in each of the first three games. A reversal in that fortune will give Tennessee a much better chance of winning the No. 1 seed in the Brian Callahan era.

    Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins: Live updates, highlights from NFL game in Week 4

    Score Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins

    The Titans’ offense isn’t helping itself right now. A first-and-goal run by Tony Pollard was canceled out by a Lloyd Cushenberry penalty. DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley each then dropped passes. Ridley scored on a WR screen just enough to set up a 52-yard field goal by Nick Folk, which Folk scored.

    The only happy fantasy players tonight so far are the ones playing folk. The Titans lead is 6-0.

    Mason Rudolph remains at QB on the next Titans drive. ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge reports that Brian Callahan told Rudolph he’ll get at least one more series.

    Kenneth Murray sets the edge to end Tyreek Hill’s stretch run to left on 4th-and-1, and Quandre Diggs makes the tackle to stop the Dolphins’ advance. This was a great chase from both to cut off and overwhelm Hill who was trying to win the race until the corner.

    Mason Rudolph goes 3-for-3 on the Titans’ first drive and leads Tennessee to a field goal. Nick Folk’s 53-yard attempt is good.

    Rudolph completed passes to Josh Whyle and Treylon Burks for first downs to put the Titans within scoring range.

    According to the Titans, Will Levis is questionable to return due to a knee injury.

    Will Levis is in the blue injury tent to have his shoulder checked as the Titans offense begins its third possession of the game. Mason Rudolph comes into play.

    The Titans don’t have an emergency third QB, for what that’s worth.

    Will Levis dives for the first down marker on third down, but is deemed to miss by a narrow margin. Brian Callahan decides not to challenge the spot and kicks from the Titans’ 45-yard line.

    Levis grimaces on the sidelines as he tries to loosen his shoulder.

    Titans defensive lineman Keondre Coburn is questionable to return to play due to a knee injury, according to the team.

    He left the field during the first drive for the Titans defense. With the absence of Jeffery Simmons, Tennessee is already shorthanded in interior defense.

    Tyler Huntley’s pass to Tyreek Hill in the flat was deflected and went backwards, and Arden Key recovered the loose ball. He could have had a chance if several teammates flagged him offside, but the whistle blew in error for an incomplete pass.

    According to one review, it’s Titans Ball.

    After the Titans advance into Dolphins territory on the first drive, Will Levis is picked off by Dolphins EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah, who slides into zone coverage. Ogbah used his legs to maintain control of the ball before the ball hit the ground.

    Not a good start at all. Levis seemed to figure out where this pass was going before the snap.

    The Tennessee Titans receive the ball first. Good chance for Will Levis to start with his right foot.

    On ESPN’s pregame show “Monday Night Countdown,” analyst Jason Kelce half-jokingly called Will Levis the “most exciting quarterback in football.”

    “I have no idea what’s going to happen when he has the ball,” Kelce said Monday. “Either it will be the craziest throw I’ve ever seen…”

    “…or the craziest throw I’ve ever seen,” Kelce and fellow analyst Ryan Clark said simultaneously of Levis’ hit-or-miss nature.

    Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. injured his knee during warmups and is questionable to play, according to the team.

    Jaelyn Duncan is inactive, which begs the question given how noncommittal the coaching staff was last week about the spot: What will the Titans do at right tackle?

    Nicholas Petit-Frere has struggled in every game this year, and friction arose when he missed a block on a Will Levis sack fumble in the fourth quarter against the Packers. Duncan came into the game and didn’t immediately look better, and Brian Callahan said after the game that the position was “far from solid.”

    John Ojukwu is active and will be an option if Petit-Frere struggles again.

    Jeffery Simmons will not play on Monday. He is inactive along with OT Jaelyn Duncan and five others. Former Titans LB David Long is out for Miami.

    The Titans look bad, but the Dolphins look lost. Whoever Miami hires at quarterback, it’s hard to imagine them being a real threat. Levis and the running game provide much-needed confidence before the bye, and the Titans finally end up in the win column.
