Titans Rally Past Seahawks 19-16 in Preseason Week 3

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Seattle Seahawks 19-16 on Sunday, August 23, rallying from a 16-3 first-quarter deficit to finish their preseason Week 3 comeback at Nissan Stadium.

Seattle appeared in control early, putting up all 16 of its points in the opening quarter. The Seahawks’ offense found a quick rhythm behind Drew Lock, while Jacardia Wright supplied explosive work on the ground and Elijah Arroyo made the most of his opportunities downfield. But Tennessee settled in after the early surge, held Seattle scoreless over the final three quarters, and steadily chipped away at the deficit.

The Titans cut the margin to 16-9 by halftime with six second-quarter points, then turned the game in the fourth. Tennessee scored 10 unanswered points in the final period, completing a 16-point comeback and taking the lead for good in a preseason game that offered a useful test of composure and depth. Seattle had no answer on the scoreboard after its fast start, while Tennessee’s late-game execution made the difference.

Key Performers

Drew Lock gave Seattle an efficient opening-quarter spark, completing 12 of 14 passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. Lock’s 85.7 percent completion rate helped the Seahawks establish their 16-3 advantage, even though the offense could not add to it after the first quarter.

Jacardia Wright was Seattle’s rushing leader with eight carries for 81 yards and one touchdown. His 10.1 yards per carry underscored how effectively Seattle moved the ball early, and the touchdown was part of the Seahawks’ 16-point opening burst.

Elijah Arroyo led all listed receivers with two receptions for 50 yards and one touchdown. The tight end averaged 25 yards per catch and delivered one of the most productive receiving lines of the afternoon despite limited volume.

NerdSports Stat: Seattle scored 16 points in the first quarter but was blanked 19-0 across the final three quarters, allowing Tennessee to erase the entire deficit.

The available game data does not list Tennessee’s individual passing, rushing, or receiving leaders, but the team result was clear: the Titans found enough offense after halftime and paired it with a scoreless defensive finish. In a preseason setting, that kind of response matters, especially for a roster competing for roles and momentum before the regular season.

Tennessee improved to 2-0 in the preseason and will look to carry its comeback form into Saturday’s home matchup with the Chicago Bears. Seattle fell to 0-2 and gets another opportunity to sharpen its late-game execution Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
